    Social Thread

    The Grand Coulee Dam, located on the Columbia river in central Washington, is the largest concrete structure in the United States. It forms the centerpiece of the Columbia Basin Project, a multipurpose endeavor managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. In addition to producing up to 6.5 million kilowatts of power, the dam irrigates over half a million acres of Columbia river basin farm land and provides abundant wildlife and recreation areas.

    This is an overview of the front of the dam taken from the Crown Point lookout.. Lake Roosevelt can be seen behind the dam. At right center you can see part of the town of Coulee Dam. ...

    Chief Joseph's Grave
    is in a town thirteen miles from my home.

    Chief Joseph is in a Nez Perce cemetery in the town of Nespelem, on the Colville Indian Reservation in Okanogan County WA. Buried here are many participants of the Nez Perce War of 1877, including younger Chief Joseph and Yellow Wolf. Chief Joseph and many of his people came here to live about 1885. This cemetery is still an active cemetery.

    To reach the cemetery, turn onto the Keller Rd from Hwy 155 one block, then left which will proceed uphill winding around to the cemetery. In the center of the cemetery you will find the tall upright headstone which has the inscription on it, listed first below. A few blocks away, just off of Hwy 155, a monument has been erected to honor Chief Joseph. The site is administered by the Colville Confederated Tribes.
