A few extra pics...

On my ride from Phoenix to Las Vegas, I stopped at Hoover Dam.  I wanted to pull into the Bridge View Point, yet just as I was about to, a Park Police Officer pulled his car into the entrance, turned on his emergency lights, and started waiving everyone on.  Apparently the viewpoint was at capacity, in retrospect, there were quiet a few people on the bridge when I crossed it.  So I rode all the way down, across the dam, and then back up to a "free" parking area on the other side.

A short walk down to a spot to take some pictures.



Lake Mead is so low, that I doubt these spillways will be needed for many years:


I started back towards Las Vegas.  As I came upon the Bridge View, the parking lot was now open, so I pulled in.  Here's a view of the pedestrian walkway on the bypass bridge.  Yes, one can actually walk across this bridge!


Not quite in the middle, there were a number of people on the bridge to my right, so a view of the dam and the western side of the road leading across.  Pardon my finger in the upper right corner... I was holding my phone over the rail, and it was quite blustery!  The last thing I wanted to do is drop my phone over the edge, so I had it in a vise-grip!


On to Las Vegas!  Here are a few more pics of the Strip at night.






Next morning, packed and loaded!  Time to hit the road!


I already posted pics from Ely, NV.  I didn't really take many there.

My next stop was Twin Falls.  I posted pics of Snake Harley Davidson's Rider's Lounge.  Here's their logo on the t-shirt I bought:


I also like the front of this t-shirt!


 And here is High Desert Harley Davidson's in Meridian (Boise), ID logo:



More pics later!
