The Hoover Dam

Alternate Title  "A Hoover that didn't Suck."

We left Meteor Crater and headed to Vegas for the night, but of course on the way, we had to stop at Hoover Dam. Wouldn't you know it, a storm was following us and we made it a very quick visit, but I got some cool cloud formation photos as a bonus. We were pulled over entering the Dam area to check the overhead luggage rack. Doug barely opened it before they told us to go on through. Apparently there are no weapons of mass destruction that could be concealed in laundry bags.


Here is the bridge.

Here is Peyton and Eli with the bridge.

Here is Doug and his girlfriend, Jolene with the bridge.

 View from the other side of the dam into Lake Mead.




And now for the scary stormy skies.....








And so we climbed back into the Forerunner and headed to that quaint little town called Las Vegas.

  1. That is one TALL bridge. It was still under construction when Denise and I were there a few years ago.
