Our journey home from Colville via Highway 231 on Tuesday April 18th started just on the outskirts of Chewelah. We turned west off of Highway 395 and continued south on 231 all the way to Interstate I-90 in Sprague. All the photos were taken from the passenger seat of our car.
We traveled through the small town of Valley, stopped to have breakfast in Springdale. Continuing south we passed through Ford, Long Lake, Reardon, Edwall then connected to the interstate in Sprague. We enjoyed going on this unfamiliar road instead of our usual trek down Hwy 395. Not having to deal with Division St. through Spokane was a treat!
Linking up with Tom the Backroads Traveler for The Barn Collective.
Happy Weekend, Ellen. What incredible scenery on your drive home. I hope you guys will enjoy the weekend.
I like that old horse-drawn carriage statue the best!
What beautiful countryside with the best selection of barns on the west coast, I’m sure!
The road less travelled, what’s not to love
I would want to take this route home too. Feels like home to me.
Nice travels—been that way several times–always nice. I do like the town of Sprague. Not too far from my daughters.

What lovely scenery, especially the barns.đŸ˜‰
Always more fun to take the back roads when you have time … and these are lovely ones. I had an Uncle and Aunt and five cousins who lived in Sprague. One is still there.
Pretty scenes! My favorite is the red barn with a green roof and horse weathervane
…Wow, this is my kind of countryside. This must be a western version of barn heaven! Thanks Ellen for sharing these sights, I hope that you saved a few for another time.
Oh, my, I would hate to have to choose a favorite. So loved these.
What a lovely journey to take with you!
