Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam - what an engineering marvel. It's not just the dam, but also the visitor's centre, which is built right into the side of the rock.

There are all sorts of places to pull off the road to take photos and to wander across the dam. At the moment, the road goes right across the top of the dam.

But, they are currently building a new bridge so the traffic will not go across the dam. From the looks of the bridge, it's a good thing it isn't ready yet because I'm not sure Dean could make it across - even in a car!! It is one high bridge.

The engineering marvel part was kind of lost on the kids, or they were tired of having to pose for photos.
