Hoover Dam and Saying Good-Bye at the Hotel
This was Sunday, Jun 28. Darrell Sr
took Dennis and myself to the Hoover Dam. This is the dry, dusty way out
to the dam!
The water level in Lake Meade is down
150 feet.
Along the dry, barren way to the Hoover
Dam and Lake Meade.
Dennis and Darrell.
Notice the lighter colored rock layers
across the way. That was where the water was before the drought set in.
We all wondered who were the unlucky men whoput the fence in across the way in this picture!
No water release!
Upstream and the new bridge. Notice
the color difference in the water.
It was 110 degs and HOT! a couple
places along the dam, they had water fountains for the tourists! Dennis
made good use of them!
We finally made it to the other side
and the vistor's center, but it was a long walk!
The men made some phone calls while I was visiting the rest room. The gift shop was crowded, but I managed to fine a tote bag which had :
"This is my Hoover Dam Tote Bag" on it. the Hoover was in small letters. Pretty cute!
After the dam, we headed back to pick
up Ardis and Sharon and headed over to the Excalibur where Kathryn and
Darrell Jr and family were to see them one last time before they left
the next day. Darrell Jr was on the bed next to a pile of towels.
Oh, my , Gosh! The pile of towels
has Derek in it!!
Tomorrow they were to travel back
to San Diego. Dennis, Ardis and Myself had one more day before we travelled
back to Wisconsin and Texas , respectively. A good time was had by all!
There ensued a wrestling match between
father and son!
