Beach on the Hanford Reach
|
|
|
|
Columbia River, Washington state, USA. This is the last undammed stretch of the Columbia in the US, finally protected as a wild & scenic river. The Army Corps of Engineers tried for _years_ to build a dam, but it never happened. The Reach goes around the north side of the notorious Hanford Reservation, once the site of the primary plutonium-production reactor in the US. Large parts of the area are still off-limits due to safety concerns, but it's no longer a top-secret site. A few years before this, if you'd stopped your boat on this beach, you'd have soon been visited by some _very_ humorless guys toting M-16s! Ironically, it was probably the proximity to Hanford that kept any dam from being built.
