Today was all about the dam. Returning to the hotel after yet another late breakfast at Denny's, Stephen and Ann said they wanted to go to see Hoover Dam. We also wanted to go and we all were joined by Cameron, Millie Kay, and Hank. Colette chose vitamin D by the pool. We climbed the hill to walk across the new bridge. I hugged the back side of the walkway to avoid the staggering drop off, but managed to get out far enough to look down at the dam. We drove down to and across the dam before returning to Henderson for lunch at In-N-Out Burger. Then this evening we drove back to Lake Mead for a dinner cruise. The food was surprisingly good! The company was great. We sailed right up to the dam for a slightly different perspective, but, sadly, it was too dark for a photo.

The dam is a great Art-Deco structure
A remarkable bit of engineering
Lunch!

The old man and the sea ... er ... um ... reservoir perhaps
The sunset was beautiful
Yup, beautiful
This was another fun day. After breakfast tomorrow, the reunion will be finished and we will head for home. There may be a tiny bit more to record, but that's all for now.
OXO
