Identify this photo

Post by scottz on 3/27/2010, 8:20 am

First topic message reminder :

Let's try something fun. Everyone is going to be heading out camping soon, I thought we could post photos and have people guess where they are. Here's the ground rules (this is a work in progress, so expect changes):

1. I'll post one photo (or multiple photos of one location) at a time. After it is identified, we can start over with a new one. I'll start us off with this one; after it is identified someone else can post another photo.

2. The photo must have a unique characteristic so it can be identified. A photos of a camp site in the pines is nice, but it has to have something unique to identify it from all the other camp site photos.

3. Once a photo is identified, we will start again.

Frank,

I'll take a wild guess and say it's the ferry that crosses the James River from Jamestown, VA to Scotland, VA.

Duh, good guess Mike. Only 3 others have guessed this correctly.

I guess I don't read this post often enough.

Outstanding place to stop and take a Plant tour. One of the best tours that I have been on. Yes there is room to park a RV in their parking lot.

Does that large tube rotate? It looks like a Lime kiln.

No it doesn't rotate.

Here are some hints:

1. It is 30' in diameter
2. It helps a former president do its job

Glen,

You got it! This is the 30' diameter penstock pipe the brings the water down from the lake and into the turbines. When you stand on the bridge over the pipe you can feel the force of the water vibrating the bridge and there is a constant rumble sound in the air from the force of the water. At one time this tunnel diverted the Colorado river around the dam site so that the construction would remain dry behind the coffer dam. They later plugged it and built the pipe to bring the water to the turbines.

The tour of the inside of the dam is one you shouldn't miss. Amazing
