Then it’s back on the boards for 6 more miles on the river - to use our new skills & enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in @yakimavalley. At the end of our river adventure, we pull out right across the street from the lake where we started… and after a short walk over to the lake house, we all will enjoy appetizers and great ice cold beverages lake side from @tietonciderworks & @varietalbeerco
