Pretty dam spectacular!

Another beautiful sunny November day, I am being so lucky with the weather. I drove north from Kingman, where I had stayed overnight… guess where… that’s right, Walmart’s of course! My next destination is Las Vegas, and on the way, I got to travel across the Hoover Dam.

It’s pretty spectacular, and well worth the time it takes to park up and take a walk across it.

They are in the process of building a huge bridge across the Colorado River Gorge just downriver from the dam, which I guess means that in future driving across the dam may no longer be a possibility. I’m glad I had a chance to do so.

Once again, the scale of things is pretty staggering, and it takes three pictures rather than just one to capture the whole vista.

Ian, the hoover dam looks really massiv. What a coincidence, a few days ago I saw a documentary in the german tv, about what will be with the belongings of mankind, if all the people would leave the planet from a day to another! And guess what, the hoover dam was the structure which would last longest – over 1000 years. Imagine that! It’s amazing!
