My long-time buddy, Nancy, loves nature as much as I do. Our first adventure in my new stomping grounds was to walk to Nine Mile Falls dam.

There's a lot of history connected to this dam as it's over 100 years old and it is on the National Register of Historic Places.
 |
The dam was originally built to power electric trains linking Spokane with rural communities.
Fortunately, Avista did a major renovation over the last couple of years, so it should last a lot longer.
 |
Only one spillway is needed right now.
I'm still glad that I live above the dam!

Next adventure . . . bird watching! :)
