Today we drove to Grand Coulee to visit the Grand Coulee dam. It was a fair drive away, about 2 hours but well worth the drive. We went straight to the visitor centre so we could get on a tour. Managed to get on a tour which consisted of a bus ride over the top of the dam and down into the pump room to see where the water pumps were that pump water up into Banks Lake from Lake Roosevelt. Once done on the hour tour we grabbed lunch from the supermarket and then went to check out Banks Lake and Steamboat rock. It was such a nice day, the weather was prefect.
After that we went back to the visitor centre and had a good look through there too. Was a nice drive back to Spokane and to the hotel.
Parked the car up and walked to downtown near the river. Checked out garbage goat that eats all your garbage. It's just a metal goat that has like a big vacuum inside it. Kind of cute really. We then did the gondola ride over the falls which was nice. Had a great view of all the locals doing free yoga. After that we went roller skating and roller scootering. Had a ball, brought back memories of the 80's going to the Mount Gambier skating rink every Friday night. After that it was dinner time which was now near 9.30pm. It was another long but really fun day. Tomorrow we had back to Seattle and Friday back to LA.
