Great weather.  We visited the Crown Point view area, the Banks Lake Headworks and went into all three powerhouses with a final stop at the 3rd Powerhouse transformer deck.  Our guides were Brandon and Ben from the USBR.   We visited generator (stator, turbine, turbine pit, draft tube and governor controls and protection systems).  Attendance was 20.
