Vacation

Here are the Dry Falls. If you can enlarge the 1st pictures you can find out about them. It is pretty amazing. This goes back to the Ice Ages and a body of water in Montana. They had some before pictures and how the fall looked before it became the "Dry Falls" absolutely beautiful.

Here is how it looks. We camped not to far from the back of the fall so we drove around to check it out. It is amazing how this formed; sheet of ice moved into Washington, Idaho and Montana. A large lake in Montana helped the formation of the Dry Falls. When the lake grew it broke threw the ice damn and rushed into northern Idaho and Eastern Washington. "As the floods in this vicinity raced southward, two major waterfalls formed along their course. The larger was that of the upper coulee, where the river rared over an 800-foot cliff. The eroding power of the water plucked pieces of basalt front he precipice, causing the falls to retreat 20 miles and self-destruct by cutting through to the Columbia River valley near what is now the Grand Coulee Dam." information was taken from the Washington State Parks and Recreation pamphlet. They can explain it much better than I could, they also understand it a little better.

This was taken at a lake on our way home. This is Diablo Lake the water is so cool. It is a blue-green. The color comes from the powdery -stuff (sorry not sure what that stuff is called, there is some kind of big name for it) that come from rocks grinding together. When the light hits the powdery-stuff it makes it appear this color.
