Elk Creek Quarry lake [1]
USA

A view of the abandoned Elk Creek Quarry northeast of Trail, Oregon.  In the early 1980s a plan by Congress had been developed to create the nearby Elk Creek Dam, a reservoir similar in scale to nearby Lost Creek Lake to control flooding of the Rogue River (along w/ the construction of Applegate Lake).  The dam itself was made of rock excavated here & had gotten to a height of 80 feet before construction was stopped due to lawsuits regarding protecting endangered salmon.  Since then the project had been abandoned, Elk Creek today now runs free down its original course.  Here the abandoned pit has since filled up w/ rainwater creating a quarry lake.

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
