Hoover Dam is a fun place. Although, we did find out that its a bad idea to go on the weekend. We weren't even thinking about it being Saturday when we left the base that morning. By the way, if anyone ever goes, make sure you have no food with you, they will take it and throw it away or make you take it to the car which is no easy walk from the area. Just an FYI. I took a ton of pictures but didn't want to bombard ya'll with them.

The turbines. These were just crazy. They were huge! Its crazy to think about just how much water pours through these things daily.
Side view.
There is a massive bridge across from the dam. We went up there later in the day. I'm not exactly afraid of heights, but this was seriously high.
Looking down from the dam on the Colorado River.
The Lake Mead side of the dam.
Looking straight down. Ekkkk.
We had a good time at the dam. I'm sure we will be going again when we have some visitors. Its a good place to see plus its just breathtaking.
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!

My Mom & Larry stopped by there on their way back from CA a few weeks ago and they said it was quite a pain to get in and see with all the security. Plus they had a camper so I'm sure that added a little bit of "fun". BUT - they did say it was pretty neat :)
