Next, we headed to Hoover Dam. We were impressed by the new Bypass they were building. They started in 2003 and expected to finish in 2010 but a part, some towers, were blown down by strong winds a while back and it took them 18 mos. to figure out how to continue. So it is a little behind schedule. The picture shows the arch to form the bottom of the bridge.
We took a tour of the Power Plant and saw the turbine.
The boys humored me with a picture of them on the Nevada-Arizona state line. N is in Nevada and L is in Arizona.
We couldn't believe how low the water level was in Lake Mead. Notice the white rock that you can now see.
And finally, we took a family picture on the observation level. The boys were not too excited, but we took it anyway. They were tired and hot and ready to go.
