In1965 they opened the just completed road to Diablo Dam and Ross Lake...a tour was offered, with a chicken dinner and a walk over a suspension bridge. After the boat trip up to Ross Lake, we took a bus and looked over Ross Dam to the Canadian side...it was an impressive view. The turbines that ran the dam were tooled by an older gentleman friend of mine, who told me what it took to create such monsters. All in all a very memorable trip...esp. with warnings of bears along our pathway to the boat back. We didn't see any, though...very anti-climactic.
