Post Falls Falls




I just got around to loading the photos from my trip to Idaho. Thought I would start with the Post Falls Falls Park photos. Now that is a mouth full. Post Falls, Idaho bears the same name as the falls on one edge of town. The falls were used to run a saw mill for a number of years. Now, I believe the dam is for flood control and electricity.

This part of the Northwest had a huge snow fall at the beginning of the year and it has rained a lot since. So the rivers and lakes were near record levels. All of the gates on the dam were wide open. So, a huge amount of water was rushing through and tumbling done the canyon as can be seen in the second photo.

The first picture is some of the local wildlife hanging out in the park. Besides geese there are ducks. The duckling picture was a bit to far away to post.

I had to include the last picture because it is a 22 - 23 thousand dollar bridge. You just don't see many of those these days.
