Stillwater Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Climbing out of Spokane, just leaving Colbert behind... ... and to the place where Spokane river meets the mighty Columbia: Not easy to miss if you fly IFR: The Grand Coulee Dam... ... and Steamboat Rock. Looks like there are some farmers working around Ephrata and Moses Lake... ... with sufficient water, at least at Wanapum Dam: But shortly later one gets to the "most polluted place of the US": Hanford facilities. Good & interesting reading, both scientific and political: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site Sometimes we simmers may visit places we would not like to visit in reality... Finally, approaching Tri-cities. A bit high, but slow enough to manage. Let´s see if we can get some of the gigantic salmon that grows down the river of Hanford...

BradB Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 They call us "Downwinder's" because of our location to Hanford and no that is not an aviation term .

But I think "downwaters" have the bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
