somebody in command central. I'm not sure how our group could be mistaken as some kind of threat to the dam, but that's neither here nor there.
The Dam itself is towering, and if you haven't seen it in person, the last 50' of River when it comes into full view is worth the price of admission. It towers above you, and is nothing short of a monolith. It takes you back to the time when Americans built great things, for no other reason than we wanted to built monuments to our engineering that would last until the end of time. Looking at the redirection tunnels, and seeing some of the old pathways used, still standing on the mountain sides near the dam, is inspiring and takes you back to when Men were Men. It's one of those things that even after you stare at it for five minutes, you just want to look again to make sure you are seeing what you think you just saw.
The water temp is arctic, and so a few of the group have to do the annual polar bear swim. We all headed back to the no wake zone, and I asked if Greg would take my wife and Melissa to the next stop in his awesome Nortech 340 Center Console. I was no longer being a loner nomad, now I'm bringing passengers with me. Greg showed us the rolling bar (no kidding it moves a foot or two back and forth for a long list of reasons that I'm not going to get into in this article) that was completely stocked with cocktails, beers, non alcoholic beverages, you name it. It should be noted that as I'm writing this article I asked my wife what the highlight of the Dam Run was to her and she replied without hesitation "Riding on Greg's Nortech."
