Lake Mead and Hoover Dam





Monday-Hank and I decided to pack a picnic and drive over to Hoover Dam. Along the way, I looked out the window and saw a herd of wild sheep. If you enlarge the picture, you will see the huge rams on two of them. We continued our drive and there was new construction going on-a new bridge will go over the water instead driving over the dam itself. We took a picture of the backside of the dam. We were in Arizona!
The last picture is very depressing. That is Lake Mead! The drought has effected this lake tremendously. It is down atleast 100'. What will the people of Nevada and Arizona do if it drys up?? There is nothing but desert out here.
We stopped and had our lunch on the shoreline (which was a long way from water).
We had another beautiful day discovering God's creations.
