Have ever wanted to do something, but been terrified to do it? That's how I felt about going on the (Hoover) Dam Tour. It's size is overwhelming. Then the dam guide tells you if you are claustrophobic, have heart problems or are pregnant you might want to not take the tour. Guess which one I am?
I really wanted to go...
I took a deep breath and focused on my Brilliant Husband and swore I could do it...
So we climbed in the elevator.
And went down...
down....
down...
deep inside the Hoover Dam.
We had to listen to a lot of dam jokes...
This is what the dam is made of...
Then we arrived...
I focused my breathing as we started walking into the dimly lit tunnels.
We went into a room above the turbines...
We could feel the floor vibrating from the flowing water....
Yep...there was water filtering in through the rock...
We walked into this MASSIVE room and looked at all the equipment.
It was a huge room!
It even had train tracks in it!
And my camera went dead. UGH!
We walked through lots of tunnels. We looked out of a vent in the dam.
It was pretty amazing!
We had to walk across a grate that was three stories deep!
Yep, I held my breath and my Brilliant Husband's sleeve and ZOOMED across it.
This was our first trip without our daughter...she's 15.
We had a great time and didn't worry about her, she was with some wonderful friends.
One last photo...
It's fake grass!
Lots of the casinos had it.
I guess it saves on water consumption.
Vegas was a lot of fun. We had a super time!
Thanks for stopping in and checking out my photos....
(I really did use restraint posting them. )
Do you have an travel plans for the summer?
