Continuing on our journey to Palouse, my friends and I stayed at the Siesta Motel in Colfax. The bathroom was European-style small, with a shower, pedestal sink, and toilet, with just enough room to move. The bedroom had a refrigerator, TV, and queen sized bed. Not a 5-star resort, but pretty good considering it’s one of the most affordable hotels in the area. The only sketchy part happened when we were leaving the hotel. One of the guys forgot his cooler in his room so we returned to pick it up. I needed to use the bathroom so I returned to my room since the motel didn’t have a public bathroom. I noticed they had removed the towels and wash cloths I had obviously used, but left the ones they thought I hadn’t used. Yuck.
Our photography target for the weekend was to shoot at Steptoe Butte. Since the best photos are usually taken at sunrise and sunset, we focused on Steptoe Butte at those times. One thing we discovered was that the wheat had almost all turned yellow and the farmers were starting to harvest it. Ideally we would have come a couple weeks sooner, when the wheat was still changing colors. My goal for the trip was to take some non-stereotypical photos. I am not typically a landscape photographer, so it was tough for me to find the right
