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!
