We’re staying tonight one mile from the border with Canada. Gas tank is full (gas prices in Canada are high!) but still no bargain here – $4.49/gallon.
Traveling here from Spokane the terrain was really different, and there were fruit trees for miles – cherries, apples, pears, and peaches.
We weren’t able to pull over to take pictures of the Grand Coulee Dam, but we were able to stop at the Chief Joseph Dam. Chief Joseph Dam is the second largest hydropower producing dam in the United States. The powerhouse is over a third of a mile long and holds 27 house-sized turbines. It produces enough power to supply the whole Seattle metropolitan area.
This is the view downstream of the dam of the Columbia River.
