NEVADA, Lake Mead

The tunnels were build to transport building materials for the Hoover Dam. They used to house the railroad tracks, but they were removed after the completion of the Dam. Now it is part of a trail  that leads from lake Mead to Hoover Dam.

Doesn't it look like an eagle?

NEVADA, Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam was very impressive, especially now you can view it from the new bridge, which was finished in 2010. The dam is 27 miles southeast from Las Vegas.













NEVADA, Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Las Vegas, busy and crazy around the clock.  We met my niece over there and she stayed one week with us. 
We camped at the air-force base.
