Hoodoos: limestone rocks formed by the wind and the elements.
We saw a lot of logging and trucks hauling logs.
Back home in the U. S. A.
Surprised me to see huge grain fields in northern Washington state.
Grand Coulee Dam, termed by some as the 8th Wonder of the World. The building of the Dam started in 1933. Originally proposed for irrigation, after 1941 productivity electricity was the main focus. Following World War II the focus returned to providing irrigation to the surrounding areas.
We watched a laser show projected on the flowing water of the Grand Coulee Dam. We camped at the Grand Coulee Dam RV Park. It was 93 in the afternoon but cooled to 60 overnight.
