Yesterday we walked to the information center where we saw a
movie about Lewis and Clark ’s travels through this area
and signed up for a tour of the hydro-electric power plant. It has 5 generators with a total capacity of
185MW for those who are interested. In
the afternoon, we went back to see a movie of the construction of this dam
which is the largest hydraulically-filled dam in the world. The Missouri River
backs up into a lake over 130 miles long, with more than 1,500 miles of shoreline. It is quite impressive
Today is another day for quiet relaxation and reading. Tomorrow we will continue west-bound, almost
to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains . We have been in contact with the camp where
we’re going to be working and they are expecting us to arrive on Thursday. We will have a meeting with the camp staff on
Friday and have some time to investigate the area also. The rest of our team will pull in on Saturday
so we will have time to get to know one another before we start our work on
Monday.
