Miles traveled:284
Total miles traveled:4450

We left Flagstaff Arizona and traveled to Boulder city Nevada near Las Vegas. We were planing to drive across Hoover dam with the camper but we learned that it would require a police search of the entire camper, so we changed our route to get there another way. We left the camper at Canyon Trail RV park and headed to Hoover dam with the car. The weather was dry and hot, the temperature was in the low 90s which we thought was hot, but the locals thought was a very pleasant temperature because the temperature gets to 130 plus in the summertime. We took the power plant tour and found it very interesting, there were 8 generators on the Nevada side, all fed from a 30 foot diameter pipe. The dam staff are constructing a by-pass road around the dam with an arch bridge, the arch bridge was not finished and it was cool to see it being built.
