You might be wondering why my feature photo is from the Grand Coulee Dam. This was one of the most important stops on my trip. That’s because I am a dedicated Bob Dylan fan and have been for over 40 years. I have been listening to the album “Blood on the Tracks” since its release in 1975. On this album is one of my favorite songs of all times – “Idiot Wind”. The following line is in the song: Idiot Wind, blowing like a circle around my skull, from the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol. So when I realized that we were in the vicinity I turned my iPod to the song, sang along at the top of my voice and cried to be going to a place that my hero mentioned in music I have been listening to for almost 35 years. It did not disappoint. The photo itself made me happy. It’s from the style of the time when the dam was built and I loved that as well. In addition to this stop we had to take photos when we saw some of the other wild things along the highway. The remaining pictures are all from a city near Spokane.
i realllllllly love the “City of Eagle” shot. i have to have one. that damn looks big. was it out of your way or on the way to where you were headed? just curious.
