December 2014 Yakima Society newsletter should be in our library by Wednesday. On page 3 describes a Winter 1918-9 train trip from Tri-Cities area to an uncle’s ranch in the Wenas. They accessed the Wenas via Ellensburg. Her uncle met them with a car & drove up Shushuskin Canyon in those days, as the Yakima Canyon road was not built until the 1930s (& passenger train from their remote White Bluffs area did not go up through Yakima town, but rather up the Columbia River to Beverly WA, and a Milwaukee Road train to Ellensburg). Also good is her description of her Uncle Jack’s ranch in the Wenas.
