The Damn Dam


We went to the Fontana Dam on Sunday. This Dam is where the scene from "The Fugitive" was filmed where Harrison Ford jumped off of it. In the movie there was only water below. In real life I think it would be a sudden stop at the end.






Here is where we were looking down into the overflow tubes that go 400 feet straight down and crash into the river below.









The girls looking for fish on the other side of the dam.










Looking at the spillover which holds the turbines that creates the energy.

























Here are my girls attempting to get the light to turn on in the little house by spinning the miniature turbine.







At the top of the dam lookout...(pun intended, it was a few stairs to the top and I was not happy about it.)
