Spent the day viewing waterfalls, hiking and visiting the Bonneville Dam, lock and fish ladder and hatchery. The waterfalls, and the Gorge are beautiful, as everyone who has been here knows! The dam has a terrific visitors center that includes a viewing area to watch the fish going up the ladder underwater. The photo is the fish ladder from above.
There were also two pairs of ospreys nesting on top of one of the power stations! We were got to the see both three of the adults and the head of one of the babies. I guess it's no crazier than the peregrine falcons that best on the San Jose city hall building.
Dinner at a microbrewery--seemed appropriate for the 4th of July. Killer garlic fries--and the beer was really good, too. Then to the county fair grounds for fireworks. We thought we would freeze while waiting for it, but we survived, and it was a really good show. Happy Independence Day!
