This would be Dan and I at the Hoover Dam. It was very windy that day. A very nice woman asked us if we wanted our picture taken. It was just a quick stop on our way to the dam, we had just enough time to take a few pics and then it was back on the bus.

According to our tour guide/bus driver, this is a monument to the men who would hang over the rock on ropes and drill holes for dynamite to clear the way for starting the dam. Out of the 100 deaths during the construction, not one of them were the guys who did this job.

If you look close, there is construction going on over the dam. By this time next year there should be a bridge connecting both sides of the dam. Because of high traffic and the winding road, a bridge is being built to relieve the congestion of automobile's that drive over every day.
