We have spent the last few days in Toppenish, WA right in the middle of the Yakima Wine Valley. We are actually staying on the Indian reservation in an RV Park near the casino. It is a very dry area with lots of sun, but with a series of canals and rivers, they have turned the valley into an agricultural meca. We have watched them picking apples (lots of apples!!), carrots, pears, peaches, grapes, etc. This is where many of the Washington cherries come from and tons of wineries. Toppenish doesn't have any wineries, but they do have murals all over town--over 70 of them. Most have to do with the history of the region.
