Cedar Creek Grist Mill - Woodland, Washington

We decided to branch out a little bit and head North across the State boundary into Washington. Photos and reviews on Google Maps tempted us to check out this museum that is a restored mill from 1876. This was one of the most dangerous excursions we've attempted.

The wheelchair tipped over twice, but fortunately was caught before hitting the ground. This place has no paved parking so we had to park slightly off the side of the road at a very scary angle. This was the first time the wheelchair started tipping. The angle of the ramp plus the angle of the road were too much to keep it upright. The second time the wheelchair tipped was when we attempted a narrow and steep path that had just been cleared by volunteers. The attempt to clear the path of plants disturbed the soft soil too much and the weight of the chair with the angle of the path proved to be too much to keep it upright. Again the chair was caught before impact. But it was scary enough to send us on our way home.
