Bonneville Dam
In the 1930’s, the Bonneville Dam was built as a WPA project. In the ’80’s, a second addition was added for more power. Now, it supplies enough electricity for 900,000 homes. We took a tour today, but the smoke from nearby forest fires made outdoor photography pretty well impossible. So here are some of the images of our visit to the power station and hatchery.
Inside the Power Plant in the new section.
A view from lower down. The river water level is just about at the crane tracks you see running along the sides.

Below the floor, looking at the main rotor shaft
Looking down into the generator
Looking down at the fish ladder
Hey, there’s some fish now!
Hard work for those salmon, swimming upstream
But, somehow, they make it
At the neighboring fish hatchery, a top down look at a 8 foot long sturgeon
And, an underwater look at another huge sturgeon

I do not even know how I stopped up right here, however I assumed
this put up was once great. I do not recognise who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you happen to are not already. Cheers!
