I found a new park this week. It’s in the south west corner of OLD Richland west of Fred Myer. It had a very nice climbing toy my kids were big fans of.

I feel like I could chill in there for hours. And because it was hot as Hades on Saturday, and the air conditioning was blasting, I did stay a little over an hour!

Right by the pump house along the Richland dike – just up from the boat ramp – there’s a red bench with a little pipe next to it. The plaque reads, “The Bill & Captain Bench.” My uncle lives near it and thinks he knows the story. I’m interested in seeing if anyone can confirm his story.

I was on my way to Hermiston Saturday afternoon when I saw the smoke.
