Hoover Dam
This is part of the reason I was gone for a bit.
"High Scaler" how they built the dam.

Nevada side of the power generators. Lighted ones are the ones being in operation

Winged Knights of the republic. Symbolisim to protect and safeguard the men working at the dam.

151 pound Nut and Bolt....imagine using that on your solid engine mounts.

Looking northwest towards Lake Mead, largest man made resevoir in the world, white line is an usually large lime deposit from a 66 day period of high water.

Only natural plant[uncared for by the park] I could find.

Looking down the colorado river, 900+ feet straight down from where I was standing

And me.

Yea, I was suprised at the amount of people that go through there. They said during the "tourist" season, there could easily be 1000+ people going through there on tours and visiting the dam, a day.
