Thanks EE and Scott for the wonderful pictures !!!

Holey cow, I would not work on that bridge, let alone drive over it....

I wonder were they are going to put the anti-aircraft batteries ?

If the level continues to drop, there is going to be both a water and power shortage in the areas dependent on Hoover Dam.

My thoughts also. They may be able to drive across the river bed one day.

so what is the problem? Now you can see two wonders at the same time.

My grandfather worked at the dam. He drove a truck. When he had to back into a tunnel to get a load of rock he would set the throttle at a idle. Then he stood on the seat to see over the truck bed, and he would reach back with one foot to steer.
