We spent a few days at a campground near Coulee Dam, the largest dam in the U.S. With the amount of concrete that Coulee Dam was built with, you could make a sidewalk that wrapped twice around the equator. Coulee Dam also makes enough energy to power 2.3 million houses, and it brings a lot of water to farms for irrigation.
Of course, we did the dam tour. We got to see the pumps that pump water from lake to farms. Because of that water, the area has a lot of farms. Did you know that forty percent of U.S. mint comes from that area? We also got to go on top of the dam. We were up so high!
That night we went to a laser show projected onto the dam. It was about the history of the dam.
The campground was on the lake above the dam, Lake Roosevelt, so we spent a lot of time chilling on the sand beach. Little Kid and I swam.
Wow this is so amazing. Cant believe it’s almost over have fun! – Britney
