While at Vegas we toured Hover Dam and Lake Mead


Picture taken from the dam. Note the normal water level would be at the top of the white mineral stained area. The lake is about 125 feet low now. It has been low for about 10 years, but it went lower during the drought of the mid 50s. Some of us remember those dry times.
Barbara on the top of the dam. Note the bypass bridge being built behind the dam. As of now tractor trailers can not cross the dam, a result of 9/11/2001! The cost of the bridge is a hidden cost of 9/11!
The water coming out of the power plant.
