  • Hoover Dam puts it all into perspective!!!! It's sheer immensity makes us wonder about so much! Wonder is something that is missing in so many of us as we grow older and more hardened by life. Coming here is like returning in a time machine to the best parts of our lives! My BF knew this so he brought little old unsuspecting me here! Yes, I returned back to maybe the Fourth Grade! Back to when catching a frog or tadpole at Legg Lake was the highlight of the week. Back to when I was finding out so much about myself. Back to a turning point in time I would really like to return to and revise....perhaps.... I'm sure I am not the first to feel so small upon entering the bowels of this concrete giant! Not the first to wonder if someone really got stuck inside the concrete and died there like a modern day mummy! Not the first to just gawk and gawk at the immense turbines which are no more no less than some engineer's overgrown science project! When we returned to the real world, after the tour was over, it really wasn't over for me, just yet! Wonder had not left my system. I did something YOU may have done upon visiting the dam. I did something that probably made no sense to the people in their new cars as they passed by me. What is it that I did you may ask? Well, the moment I located the plaque that shows where Nevada ends and Arizona begins or perhaps rather where Arizona ends and Nevada begins....I jumped from state to state and watched the world watch me. I stood partly in Nevada and partly in Arizona as the world was confused by what I was doing. Or maybe some kid in the back of the car knew exactly what I was doing as their parents who had long forgotten how to have fun drove by and muttered something about the silly guy jumping back and forth. Hoover Dam is a romantic place of sorts at least for me. My BF told me when we were back in Vegas that he fell in love with me again as he saw me ENJOYING myself jumping back and forth! I promised him I would do it again when we visit the spot where Colorado and Nebraska and Wyoming touch someday. Hoover Dam is a place where you can take shot after shot with your camera. It's a place where you spend a good while trying to find a way to get the whole dam into one shot so you can show your family and friends how big it was back home. Some just give up after frustrated attempts and some actually go all the way to the new bridge which actually allows you to get a shot of the whole dam and the artificial lake behind it. It's so great to look up from so high at the man made lake and try to see how deep it is! There's a huge parking structure here as well as a gift shop and an old museum which merits a visit if you want to see a model map of the river behind the dam! Traffic in and out can be a problem here so plan your trip carefully and don't worry about unwinding till you get here. The tour was beyond cool. Most people come to Vegas to epitomize their adult status: alcohol, sex, smokes and gambling, etc. Some of us actually come to Vegas and epitomize our inner child!
