Up the road, there's a place called Rainbow Dam with a pretty little scenic overlook, poised so you can glance out at the water flowing from the dam there. Not bad, considering the only other thing mentioned about this lovely city is a collection of model airplanes in a tiny airport. There's a booth where they used to take admission for entry for the park, but I've been going for years and have yet to be charged for entry. [Sophie, 06/08/2006]
