Anybody ever been to the dunes by the lower Granite dam or Water Bust at Boyer Park?

Oh yea, looks like hair styles and clothing styles are the only things that have changed since I went to school there in the 70s.

Sigh

I think I was there

Some kid drowned not too far from there a couple years ago. They tried swimming out to the channel markers and one went down when another tried to save him. Real sad. There an old flooded town out there. I was fishing there a couple of days after when they were diving for him. It was kinda creepy. The sheriff was going around telling everybody to stay away from the dive area. Didn't mean to ruin anybody's good memories but that's my story.

ooops someone forgot to take out the trash....


dunes closed because of garbage


Corps closes trashed recreation area near Pullman
A popular recreation area along the Snake River near Pullman will not be open for Labor Day because it was trashed last weekend by hard-partying visitors.

A popular recreation area along the Snake River near Pullman will not be open for Labor Day because it was trashed last weekend by hard-partying visitors.

The Corps of Engineers closed the Illia Dunes after more than 3,000 visitors left broken bottles and beer cans on the beach and littered parking lots with trash, creating health and safety hazards.

The corps says it doesn't have the resources for such a big cleanup job if visitors can't pick up after themselves.

The Tri-City Herald reports (http://is.gd/ehWbDY) the dunes are a popular recreation site with sandy beaches on the south shore of the Snake River about three miles downstream of Lower Granite Lock and Dam.

Hank, most of those folks are WSU students. It's a famous party area not far from the school on the Snake River.
