"Hoover Dam is the Western Hemisphere's highest concrete dam (727ft, 220m), and the site of many death-defying movie stunts. Harnessing the Colorado River, Hoover Dam is a testament to Depression-era dreams of a better world achieved through engineering. The dam, made from 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete, generates enough hydroelectricity to power 500000 homes."
"Lake Mead" extends 110mi behind Hoover Dam.
An apparently severe accident slowed our progress towards the Grand Canyon but was our only traffic jam in the whole month!
