Driving back from Yakima to Portland I saw a Bald Eagle sitting on a bowie in the Columbia River. What a site! 15 minutes later I stopped at the Dalles Dam to take this photo. The ramp in front is where the Salmon swim the stair steps to get up over the dam. They go upriver to spawn. I think it's remarkable that this thing actually works. What's even more remarkable is that some politicians placed enough value on these fish to help them upriver. They have a tour of the dam, but it was closed when I drove by. Maybe this summer I'll go.
