We went to Hoover Dam this morning. The traffic was much like Atlanta... the speed limit is 65 and most cars went way beyond that. It cost $7 to park and $15 each for the tour. I don't think we got our money's worth. We saw a short movie.. which was an excerpt of what we've seen on PBS. Then to one station to tell us about how the dam was built and works. Then we were taken where a turbine or generator was... I'm not sure. My hearing was not good enough to seperate what the tour guide said and what those around me were saying. Then we looked around the observation deck... really not much to see there but cement and a glimpse of a pool of water and the bridge they are building. There were some chipmunks and we took pictures of them. They looked hungry. Frank was told about them by the man at ITT, but didn't realize exactly where they were... bread was in the truck to feed them. We did buy a couple of souveneers... a coin and a bell.


We came back to the campground and registered for a couple of more days. Then we had dinner... more deli chicken and some steamer veggies that had asparagus in them. It was pretty good. Then just napping in our chairs while watching cooking shows on PBS. Then editing a few pictures for me and Frank tied the awning down... the wind has picked up.


For a while the highest temperature were the upper 60s to low 70s... and now the temps are in the low to mid 90s. No humidity to speak of but still hot. I cannot seem to get enough to drink. My skin drys out fast... so lotion and more lotion.

Tomorrow we will go into Las Vegas.

I talked to Mama a bit ago. Good to hear her voice and talk a while. I'm still not used to talking on a cell phone. .... talked a bit to Zarone too.. another good voice to hear.


It is good to be a bit lazy. In a bit we take the computer up towards the office for a good signal and try and plan our next leg of the journey.
