Day 12

Ok - So Las Vegas didn't go exactly as planned.  To clear our heads, we hit the road and headed for the Hoover Dam.  Really cool stuff.  We did cross a manditory checkpoint and the motor home was searched.  I didn't really mind, I was just surprised how ineffective it was.  I guess we didn't match thier "profile" of a terrorist.

When the ranger entered the camper, I heard "Wow!  Are you a real cowboy?!?!?"

We thought the towers were falling in.  I guess they're supposed to be that way.

The underground tour is not for the claustrophobic.

I told Mitch this is the main switch for the dam.  That's why it's locked.  He bought it...

Standing from the top of the dam.  Pictures just couldn't take it all in.

These turbines are huge.  They only take them out every 10 years for service.  I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you.

We found this campground by accident.  It had to be the most peaceful, beautiful place on earth.

See those green bushes?  After Nick and Mitch beat each other with them, the warden came down and described how deathly toxic they were.  They both got baths that night.
