RAPSters spent the day touring Bonneville Lock and Dam, about 40 miles east of Portland on the Columbia River. Jim Runkles, park manager, led the two-and-a-half hour tour, which included a presentation on the dam’s history, a close-up look at a barge and tug passing through the navigation lock, and a tour of First Powerhouse and its control room. At right, RAPSters examine the workings of one of First Powerhouse’s 10 generators, which is being overhauled. First Powerhouse, which is on the Oregon side of the Columbia, opened in 1937; Second Powerhouse, on the Washington side, was completed in 1981. At far right, First Powerhouse looms behind Runkles and the RAPS touring group. Bonneville: a truly electrifying tour
