After we left Coeur d' Alene we drove to Omak Washington. We stopped to see Coullee Dam along the way. Omak is home to what is called the Omak Stampede which is in it's 79th year. There are a lot of activities including a rodeo, christian live music, art show, indian dancing and a carnival. The unusual thing is they do a horse race down a very steep hill and then across a river. The race ends in the arena which is part of the rodeo. I did not get any pictures because when we watched it was after dark and there was not enough light to get a good shot. Here is a Utube video of the race:

After we left Omak we drove to White Salmon Oregon. We saw Mt. Hood and drove by Lake Chelan. We passed many wineries, apple orchards as well as peach and cherry orchards along the way. We drove along the Okanagan and Columbia rivers as we went through the Wenatchee Mountains.
