Lake Michigan is so dominant on the Milwaukee landscape that the rivers that run through the city are often overlooked. The Milwaukee, Menominee, and Kinnickinnic rivers are being rehabbed for public use and the Riverwalk is particularly nice for walking and summer dining, (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2017)

I stopped to have dinner by Parker Dam just after those other shots. One of the things I learned when I lived in Arizona is that the name for a covered space that you might put a picnic table is a “ramada.” (Parker Dam, California, 2004)

Yesterday I mentioned why I liked Parker Dam. The lake side of a dam always has the romance of “potential energy” as it sits and waits to go downstream. (Parker Dam, California, 2005)

For some reason, I love the Parker Dam. It is small, has an elegant curve, and seems to be an afterthought of Hoover Dam upriver. Tomorrow, let’s look at the other side. (Parker Dam, California, 2005)

Just south of the Parker Dam is a small trailer park. It was so appealing I had to take a shot of it. I have no idea if it is as pleasant as it looks–but on that day I wanted to rent one of those places along the Colorado River. (Parker Dam, California. 2005)
