Their destination was Grand Coulee Dam. The group visited the Sullivan Dam and Pot-hole Park, which must be a fisher man's paradise. A large crowd was fishing from boats and off the shore. A camp ground is situated there as well as a lovely park with picnic area. After enjoying coffee and homemade cinna mon rolls the group started out again, to the designated points of interest. The stop at the airport at Moses Lake was very educa tional, where they saw the Boeing 747 planes practising for landings. This is a training area for American & Japanese ' pilots. Also there is a Japan ese Airline office and many of the pilots and others attend the College at Moses Lake where other foreign student groups study languages and other classes. This is the Big Bend Community College with an enrollment of 2H00 full time students. They offer a two year accredited program. Many or the planes coming in for the practise work, landings etc, come from McChord Air furce Base. This Moses Lade Airbase was chosen as an alternate sight for space craft shuttle landings. The group settled into the Travelodge ate lunch, and were then escorted by Ann McCall a representative of the Chamber of Commerce to the sights of interest, which in cluded the Museum. The museum has articles dating before 1909 when Grant Coun ty was still a part of Douglas County. From the Museum the group was escorted by two fine guides to the Village, which consisted of a saloon, Barber ,Shop, Shoe Shop, printing shop, old fashioned school, and an early Catholic Church which had been moved into the sight, and a bank complete with a "hold-up" scene. There is a complete homestead, with barn, chicken house, outhouse (with green vines growing on the outside), cabin, and a clothesline with the traditional red longjohns. The group enjoyed a fine dinner then retired early to rest for a big day Sunday, which started at 8 : 30 a .m . The group tasted the mineral wat er of the noted Soap Lake. The white man first heard of this Lake from the Indians which called it Smokain, or "Healing Waters." There are sixteen kinds of chemicals which make up this water and they effect the body in such a way that the solution of many rhuematic and skin troubles arthritis, lumbago, muscular pains and nervousness can be found by bathing in the water. Drinking the water seems to help with digestive problems. Dry Falls was indeed an interesting stop over with all members who had cameras really having an enjoyable time, the weather wasbeauti ful and hopefully all the cam era bugs will be delighted with their pictures. A tour of the Grand Coulee Dam was enjoyed with most of the group going into the dam by way of an elevator. This dam is the Largest cement made structure in the world. Other pointa of interest en route were Banks Lake, Blue Lake, Steamboat Park, and enroute home, Summer Falls, which are a man made falls and lake draining the irriga tion canals from the cams into an area for ditching and irr igating the Quincy area. There are six of the world's largest pumps that irrigate more than half a million acres of cropland in the Columbia Basin. There are about 2300 miles of canals and laterals that distribute the water to over 6000 farms. ( Each person was presented a car litter bag containing pencils, note pads, combs etc. from the Ephrata Chamber of Commerce. ) A tired but happy bunch started home, arriving back in our area about 8 p.m. The M CM S sponsors a tour each year, and attempts to go to a different area of interest each May. We issue an invitation to anyone who would like to join the group. Plans are underway for a four day trip this fall to the Vic toria B.C. points of interest, if interested call Ruth McCabe or Delpha Jones.
