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

i was at the Hoover Dam when i was just a little Kid...its still a cool place

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.

I HATE TOURISTS. I live in a resort town, and all they do is talk **** in the bar, and drive slow whan I'm late for work!

Hint: Leave earlier for work :P

Never been to Hoover dam... Looks like I need to get out more
