Hoover Dam


We took a drive to Hoover Dam. Along the way we stopped in Boulder City to do a little geocaching and at Lake Mead to enjoy a picnic lunch. We walked along the dam at Hoover dam - much more commercialized than when we were there in 1986. They are in the process a building a bridge over the waterway so that traffic will no longer cross the dam. The bridge is so tall; I'm not sure that I will have the nerve to cross it! Study the photo, it really is unbelievable! That's the Colorado River at the bottom and the ends of the new bridge toward either side at the top. Wonder how they'll build the middle section?
