We returned home after the park, and took naps. We decided there was still time enough to do something in the afternoon, so we went to the Cleveland Dam and fish hatchery.
The dam is set on a lake with incredible surroundings.
And here is the dam itself, built in 1954. It is used strictly for water control, not for energy production.
It was, however, open (if that is the right term) -- that is, they were letting water through.
We walked down to the river, which was, of course, lovely.
I keep wondering who or what lives in this cave:
We then went downriver to the fish hatchery. Once again we walked along the riverbank.
On our way to the hatchery, we ran across this sign. It is actually pointing out where the wheelchair ramp is, but it looks at first glance as if it is suggesting something else.
And we saw lots of baby fish!
Finally, we found this beautiful scene at the hatchery:
We stopped at Walmart on the way home to buy a cable for Norbert's camera, then home for dinner. A salad for me and a sandwich for Norbert. We managed to stay up a bit later, all the way until nearly 9:30!
