Garrison Dam

The Man-Cub has a couple of days off from school - so we decided to head west and do some hiking in the Badlands again...

Our first stop was Garrison Dam and Lake Sakakewea (lots of different spellings of this one - I used the one from the sign).

It's a big (really big) deep blue lake...

The back side of the dam...

The dam proper...
The intake for the power plant...
The Lewis and Clark Trail sign - I love these...
A little bit about the lake...
Throwing rocks is still one of the Man-Cub's favorite things to do...

We had a picnic lunch here at the overlook - we got all our fixings out and made our sandwiches (Wham and Vegenaise - Yum!) - but then decided that it was too cold to sit outside - so we packed everything back up and sat in the truck and ate our sammies - with this view...
