Lake Mead or Bust

Lake Mead

A Tourist


Hoover Dam



Namesake of Lake Mead-he was a civil engineer who went on to bigger things.




Electrical lines coming from the Hoover Dam





New bridge going over the Colorado River just below the Hoover Dam.






Tunnel Hike







Lake Mead and the Marina from the tunnel hike








Tunnel Hike
News Flash: There are some great hikes and sights to see right here in Southern Nevada-you don't have to go to Hawaii, California or Oregon.
Did you all know that already? We have gone on three great hikes since coming home from Oregon. The first one was in the River Mountains just behind our house, then we went on this great tunnel hike and next we went out to Red Rock. Maybe we will have to take a hike down the strip-just like real tourists. We are loving living life like we are always on a vacation-hope we can stick to this game plan.
We had gone on this hike before and loved the beautiful views. Now the hike has been extended to go all the way to the dam from the Boulder Beach side of the lake-it was quite a walk but we made it! Ta Da!!!
