With a little time to kill after the race, we made our way to Hoover Dam.
The dam tour has changed since 9/11. Although you can still see the
generators, you can no longer visit the multitude of tunnels within the dam.
Precautions now include car checks on the road & airport style inspections
for those on the tours. Also, mid-summer temperatures in Black's Canyon
hovered above 120 degrees according to Bureau of Reclamation's thermometer. |
