Day 169 – Hoover Dam and Bridge

Day 169 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways
Lake Mead Lakeview Overlook

Petey and I left the Wal-Mart parking lot early, stopped for a shower at my gym, 24 Hour Fitness, and proceeded toward Hoover Dam.  I wanted to tour the Hoover dam and bridge and tours are offered on a first come, first served basis starting at 9 am.

We reached an overlook where we took in the views of Lake Mead before continuing a mile further where there was a security check point.  I joined the RV line.  I presumed they’d at least check my propane tank like I had experienced in crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.  Nervous about carrying my .38 pistol on Federal property which is illegal even with a concealed handgun license, I at least unloaded it at the overlook. 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
