Tuesday, March 18th

Today we went to Hoover Dam, which began construction on April 20th 1931. It isn't like Wolford's Dam. We drove over the Dam and parked on the other side. We then walked to the Tour Center. We went on a tour of the Dam. We first went down to a level where a pipe is big enough for two semi trucks to drive side by side. Hoover Dam is about as thick as it is tall at the base of the dam. Afterwards we went to the generator room. They produce enough hydroelectric power to supply power to a million people. After we left the Dam we drove through Vegas to Mesquite, NV.
