Aug. 17th Bonnie's Ferry Idaho Dear Grandpa, Visited Coulee Dam today with lots of water coming over the top, quite different from when we saw it before. On to Lake Louise tomorrow. Stayed last night at Lake Chelan - very lovely, especially with full moon reflected in it. We saw a sea-plane land in the lake right in front of us. Lyman says hello. Love, Margaret Wiltshire
