Hoover Dam




We were able to get together with John and Sheryl again and took a tour of the Hoover Dam. It's real BIG. We were in an auditorium for a lecture and John sat down, but oops he tore his pants. We then called him "John with his dam torn pants". There were several parts of the Dam we couldn't see due to "9-11" controls. The lake is also down 25-30 feet due to a drought up the river.



After bidding John and Sheryl a fond fair well again we headed to San Diego, CA. The road from Vegas to CA is right through the middle of the hot desert and there is nothing much to see except open space. We drove from Vegas to San Diego easily in one day. However the traffic in San Diego was terrible. The folks there don't care if you're in a 40 foot motor home or not, they're not going to give way and let you change lanes. You just have to say to yourself, "I'm bigger than they are and here I come".
