Grand Coulee Dam and Cascades Highway

I stopped at Coulee and got the dam tour.  Wasn't as cool as Hoover dam tour, but neat to see.  You don't get to go into the power house and see the generators.  You get to see the pumps that move water up to a lake to use for irrigation.  Still, for free, not a bad deal.
