The
image...is of Tumwater Dam, in Tumwater Canyon several miles northwest
of Leavenworth, WA on Highway 2.
The
Tumwater Hydroelectric Project was constructed from 1907 to 1909.
At that time, the hydroelectric project was the largest west of
Niagara Falls. The project was constructed by the Great Northern
Railway Company to produce power to electric locomotives traveling
through the old Cascade Tunnel on the Stevens Pass route.
[It]
was closed in 1956. By that time, the railroad had converted to
diesel engines. The project was purchased by Chelan County Public
Utility District in 1957. The powerhouse and related generating
facilities were subsequently removed.
The
Tumwater Dam is now equipped with modern fish passage facilities
to assist adult salmon and steelhead returning to their spawning
grounds.

It's
on the right-hand side of Highway 706, just outside the boundaries
of Mt. Rainier...The man does just about any figure out of iron
and metal.

The photo
is of a horse called "Buckeye" at Dan Klennert's El-Nihlo sculpture
park on the side of Route 706 near Elbe on the way towards Mt. Rainier.

The picture
of the giant horse is in Elbe, WA. Someone has done a great job with
other animals as well.
Carol

Picture
is the head of a horse found in the ironwork sculpture park located
on Hwy 706 going to Mt. Rainier before you reach Ashford.
The first thing you see is the giraffe with leaves in its mouth. There
are motorcycles, dinosaurs, a giant wheel and many other sculptures.
It is a very interesting place and a "must stop and see what is new"
on every trip to Mt. Rainier.

WE
KNOW! WE KNOW! IT'S US!!! That picture was taken at Rainbow Falls
State Park, late on Sunday afternoon of Labor Day weekend!
The photographer was probably standing on the bridge entering the
park. The kids were jumping into the Chehalis River at the base
of the little falls. BRRRR!! The current would carry them several
yards downstream.
...If you walk up river from this photo you'll find many interesting
round holes and channels carved into the large stones along the
bank. If you keep going you will discover the world's greatest rope
swing! WE HOPE WE WIN!!!

Not only
do we know that this is RAINBOW FALLS STATE PARK...but we know who
and when it was!
The woman standing watching her son is Lori Jo Stuart...My son...is
in the lower right corner in the water, and my youngest son...is shivering
standing on the rocks on the left side of the page. We went down over
Labor Day weekend and had a blast!

The place
in question is Rainbow Falls State Park. This park is located
off of Hwy 6 several miles west of Chehalis. The picture you have
was most likely taken from the foot bridge that spans across the Chehalis
river. This park offers camping and small day hike trails. The best
trails are across Hwy 6 directly across from the park entrance.
I have spent many summers at this park since I was 10. I now take
my kids to this park every summer to camp. Unless you are a regular,
many people do not know about the rope swing located behind the campsites.
Last summer, I introduced that swing to my daughters for the first
time. There is nothing like a rope swing to bring out the adventurer
in even the most timid.

I believe this picture is on the Black River, just south of Maytown, Thurston County.
Jeff Kershaw
Thurston County
I have kayaked through the Black river Wildlife Refuge several times. I am certain I have paddled by those same pilings. I would recommend the trip to anyone who wants to get a little closer to nature. Oh yeah, it's the Black River between 183rd and Littlerock.
James Graham
How
about the Black River south of Littlerock, near the canoe base.
If I'm not mistaken it's an old trestle crossing. Besides that,
it is a beautiful area to canoe in. I have, in fact, seen Peregrine
Falcons there. In the Spring the Chehalis is accessible by way of
the Black River.

I am answering
the question "Where is this?" The photo in Sunday's paper is
the hiking trail at Hurricane Ridge.
Cyndi Presnell

The contest
photo in The Olympian for 27Jul2003 shows the hiking trail leading from
the parking lot at Hurricane Ridge in the Olympics.

The
"Where is this?" Framework photo depicted in the 7-27-03 edition
of The Olympian newspaper is at ONP Hurricane Ridge looking toward the
Strait of Juan de Fuca and Canada.

Burgess, I think the picture for Sunday July 27th, is on Hurricane Ridge

Dear
Mr. Burgess,
The
photo on the Outdoors, A8, dated Sunday, 7/29/03 is a picture of
Reflection Lake at Mt. Rainier between Longmire and Paradise on
the road to Ohanapecosh.
Sincerely,
Gus
Hull
Yelm, WA
Dear
Mike,
The
photo in July 20, 2003 paper page A8 is Reflection Lake at Mount
Rainier on the Stevens Canyon route between Paradise and Ohanepecosh.
Actually it is quite close to the Paradise Highway end of the Stevens
Canyon road.
The
time appears to be late winter/early spring, because of the snow
and the lack of colored leaves to indicate an autumn early snowfall.
In
the winter this lake is frozen solid and piled high with snow and
has been a cross country skiing destination in past years for my
family.
This
view, from the south shows Little Tahoma, to the right of the main
mountain, a feature not seen from Olympia. In Olympia, of course,
we get the three peak effect which is actually two portions of the
ancient crater rim, left and right, (from Olympia, or more exactly,
north and south) and a central lava dome, which built up much higher
in relation to the crater than the lava dome in Mt. St. Helens.

The
"Where is this" Framework photo depicted in the 7-20-03

Rainier is in the background showing Gibraltar Rock and the 3rd
highest mountain Washington, Mt Tahoma. Thanks for this weekly outdoor
feature of your fine newspaper.

The
Sunday, July 20 picture to be identified is the Reflection Lake.
It is recognized by the tree line and the Paradise side of the Mt.
Rainier.

Dear
Mike,
My
guess is that these surfers are entering the Pacific Ocean at the
small state park about 500 yards south of the Westport Jetty just
after sunrise.
Thanks
for the fun contest.
Marvin

Good
morning,
The
photo in Sunday's July 13th Outdoor section is the beach at the
South Jetty, at Westport. The rock jetty in the background is the
southernmost of the two jetties marking the entrance to Grays Harbor.
This is not only a great place for surfing, but in behind the south
jetty can be a great spot for salmon fishing and crabbing too.
There
is a little park with beaches on the ocean side (as in the photo)
and on the protected side at Halfmoon Bay, and a nearby observation
tower that offers a nice view of the Gray's Harbor entrance.
Russ
McMillan
Olympia, WA
Mike,
the picture in Sunday's daily Olympian is the South Jetty Area in
West Haven State Park at Westport, Wa.
I hope
that I have won one of your hats. I think they look great and I
will wear it daily.
Thanks.

The
Framework picture in Sunday's newspaper is at Westhaven State Park
in Westport, WA. My wife and I travel from Lacey to Westport to
watch the surfers many times during the year. Westport is our favorite
"get-away" beach.
Michael

Hello,
Mike,
Your
photo for "Where is this?" in Sunday's "The Olympian,"
dated July 13, 2003, is the ocean beach at Westhaven State Park,
near Westport. Great place for surfers and folk who like to search
for agates and jasper on the beach.
Jim

Mike
Burgess:
Re
this week's Framework photo. I was there yesterday, as a matter
of fact. My sister was celebrating her 38th birthday with a little
boogie boarding action at "WestPort, WA" Beach.
Annie
Kaune
Mike,
I believe
this location to be the Pacific Ocean beach, south of the rock jetty
in the Westhaven recreational area at Westport, Washington. It's
a popular place for surfers, kite fliers and beach combers.
Thank
you.
Kazuko

The
picture of would-be surfers going down an incline of beach shown
in the South Sound Outdoors section of The Olympian on Sunday, July
13, 2003 was taken at West Port, Washington, specifically at Westhaven
State Park looking out towards the jetty. Behind the two surfers,
across a wide sandy area you will find the restrooms and parking.
The restrooms are usually a mess and up until this year parking
was free and hard to get.
I surf
at Westhaven regularly with my sons while my wife sits along the
rock jetty to watch us and read - the rocks provide a great windbreak.
Mike
Morgan
This
is a picture of Westport, Washington. The picture is looking west
towards the Grays Harbor south jetty in the Westhaven state park.
The picture is being taken in the early morning by looking at the
shadows being cast by the surfers and the sand dune. All of this
is known because more than likely I am out in the water considering
how much time I spend out there surfing!
Scott
Michie
Hi,
Mike!
"Where
is this?" in the Sunday edition (7-13-03) is about a few hundred
yards south of the south jetty at the entrance to Westport... I
believe it's called Westhaven (?)
It's
my favorite spot on the West Coast!!!
