We drove up to Grand Coulee. It is a very pretty drive between Coulee City and Grand Coulee because the road follows Banks Lake. The dam is incredible and there is a very nice visitors center that contains all kinds of stuff that was used during the building of it. They have a laser show at the dam when it gets dark starting Memorial Weekend that is supposed to be worth seeing.
We stopped at Steamboat Rock State Park along Banks Lake. I took a picture of the "steamboat rock". The rock broke off and was pushed out from the canyon wall during the great flood that caused the huge waterfall at Dry Falls way back at the end of the ice age.
We survived the walleye tournament at the park this past weekend. Most of the fishermen were nice guys but we had a few that made life miserable. The other problem with our park is that it doesn't have any closed hours. We have people drive through the park at 1AM -- slowly--and it makes us very nervous -- but they aren't breaking any rule so we are kind of stuck putting up with it. Not sure we are going to stay if we don't feel safe.
