Looking at bottom of dam |
Hoover Dam |
Intake towers from Lake Mead |
Yesterday was a travel day and we landed in Boulder City, Nevada. Checked out one of the Seven Wonders of the World today. The Hoover Dam is another amazing example of engineering and hard work done for the good of mankind. This afternoon we had a severe thunderstorm which dropped 2 inches of rain on the city of Las Vegas in less than an hour. Las Vegas is in a valley surrounded by mountains so there was serious flash flooding. Luckily, we are up high so didn't have to worry about that but weren't able to go to the "strip" tonight as planned. Maybe tomorrow!
