Wanapum Dam Tour . . . thanks Donna!


Vortex at one of the spill ways . . . a good reason not to be anywhere near this dam on the water.











Fish ladders . . . a big deal here . . . one on either side of the dam and this is peak season watching them moving up the river!










The new fish spillway . . . lets the fish move down stream with less damage than going through the turbines or across the spill ways . . . and a great feeling of vertigo standing over it!








Spring/Summer flows . . . spillways passing water and generating all the power it can . . .












And one of the locals heading up the ladder . . .












The action at one of the spillway gates . . .
