We spent a beautiful 70 degree day at Hoover Dam with Daxton, Meg and Sam. After a very stressful week it was fun to walk around and look at the engineering masterpiece of the dam, the art deco structures of the intake towers and the beautiful new bridge under construction over the Colorado River. My Grandpa Hunter, who was a riveter on the San Francisco Bay Bridge would have gotten a thrill out of the half finished support arches spanning the canyon and would have been a bit jealous of the workers suspended in a cage and navigating catwalks many hundred feet above the river.
Dax liked walking (running until he falls over) around the worker's memorial. He loved the water and wanted to crawl over the wall. Meg took all these beautiful pictures.
Soon to be the new road across the canyon
Dax is happy to be out of the stroller.
Intake towers into the power plant, built in the 30's, my favorite architecture.
