You are correct Sir!
Interesting day that was. We were coming around the South side of the lake, fighting a 40-50 mph cross wind all day. I stopped on the pullout on the other side before crossing the dam. When I came to a stop, the wind coming up the canyon and over the dam was being compressed to around 70mph and a gust hit and blew the bike, with me on it, over.
Here I am fighting the wind to get back to the bike to pick it up.
Take it 8-Ball.

OK, I think one picture of this place would be too vague, so I have three.

The name of the place means "wall", but originally was called by a name meaning "dawn".

Clue 1..the first pic is a light house called, unimaginatively enough, "El Faro".
