On Sunday, before leaving Las Vegas, Kari and I took a tour of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. This is a picture of Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake. Our guide explained that the Las Vegas area is in a serious drought and evidence of it could be seen on the water lines of the exposed rock islands and along the shoreline.
The Hoover Dam is a very impressive sight and a mammoth structure. Lots of security in and around the area.
This is a shot of the Colorado River once it has left the dam. Again, we could see the water line marks along the canyon walls showing how low the water level is at this time.
