We overnight at Cascade Locks on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. The hotel boasts river views which also means train track views; Jorge is happy!

The Bonneville dam is just downstream. This is turbine house 2.

Each turbine rotates at 70rpmand produces enough power to light a small town.

The dam doesn’t store water; the excess is let through the spillway.

There are fish ladders to let fish get up-river to spawn. The viewing ports allow the fish to be seen and counted.
