Grand Coulee Dam (gold star on the map) is a concrete gravity dam built on the Columbia River in Washington, state.
Grand Coulee is the largest power producing facility in the United States at 6,809 MW.

| The next 3 pictures are the dam as viewed from left to right |
 |
| It was built to produce hydroelectric power and provide irrigation water. Constructed between 1933 and 1942. |
 |
| The dam originally had only two powerhouses, but a third powerhouse was completed in 1974 to increase energy production. |

We are camped at Okanogan, the blue dot /green flag on the map.
Currently our tow vehicle (2010 F-350 dually) is in the shop for repairs.
We'll enjoy the Okanogan Valley and Washington "apple country" for a few more weeks before we are again able to mosey on down the road to the Pacific coast.
