Sunday we decided to go to see Hetch Hetchy which is Yosemites sister valley that was flooded in 1923 to make a water reservoir for San Francisco and surrounding counties as well as generate electricity. Its existence is apparently still a bit controversial, and debate over its removal still occurs.
There's a giant lake and you can't swim in it. So sad. (Especially since it was over 90 degrees that day)
View of the valley plus dam spray... should I be making an inappropriate joke here?
There was also a fun tunnel which we totally made creepy gargoyle statues in. I need to get those photos from Hannah.
Overall Hetch Hetchy was interesting, but not a must-see. Unless you count taking a picture with the Poopenaut Valley sign. That was pretty great. (again, need to get the photo. Will update once obtained!)
