It was a pretty morning. Since we are leaving the area, it decided to cool down. We left Nellis at 9:10 and approached Hoover Dam at 10:10. The construction there is amazing since they are building a huge bridge just behind the dam to replace the road across the dam. It is supposed to be done next year, but it looks like it may be a lot longer. The bridge appears finished, but the access roads have a long way to go.
We inched our way down to the dam where we had to pull the RV over for inspection. A man walked through the RV and then Bill had to open all the outside compartments for him to inspect. The RV made it across just fine. There were very few RVs crossing the dam. The water appeared very low both behind the dam and in Lake Mead. Today’s photo of the dam was as good as I could get since there wasn’t any place to pull the RV over for good photos.
We continued on US 93 to Kingman and then on I 15 to Williams AZ. It was really windy and gusty, and Bill had some bad moments, but he kept it on the road.
Now we are at a KOA just north of Williams spending the night before we drive the 45 miles up to the Grand Canyon Campground. I have pulled out the sweatshirt again which is nice. The weather should be great the next few days, so we both are happy campers. Tomorrow night it is supposed to get down into the 30s!
Bill took off after dinner to go check out a museum called Planes of Fame that is on the road to the Grand Canyon from here. He may get up early tomorrow before we leave and go spend some time there.
