Trip Spontaneous - Day 2

With a day under our belts, we went off to the Hoover Dam. Driving up to the actual site, you can only notice the rugged terrain. Peaks and tight gorges are all over the place and then you get to the actual location of the damn. WOW. First impression is incredible. The magnitude of the damn is breath taking. The actual engineering that went into it is a feat in itself. There are stories of some of the workers that fell to their deaths by falling into the wet concrete never to come back up. Here are some photos from the damn. You'll notice that they are in the process of building a new bridge to take the traffic off of the bridge. All I can say is that I don't want to driver over this when they are done. The photos don't do it justice, but this thing is so far above the ground.



Dinner was at Hooters, the wings weren't hot enough for me, but the drinks were small BUT powerful. We then we went off to the Palms casino to check out one of the hottest casinos in town. Too bad this week is slow due to Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow we're heading off to Zion Canyon up in Utah.
