Of course, this trip inspired me to check out the last time we were in Las Vegas, Nevada. It doesn't seem possible that it was sixteen years ago! (This is when old people start asking inane questions like, "Where does the time go?") Of course, I had to check my Flickr account to see what I could find in the deep recesses of their data warehouses. Sure enough, a number of pictures were still sitting in my album created that year. Long live JPGs!
Some of the images were from a morning trip out to Hoover Dam. We rented a car from the hotel and drove towards Boulder City to see Lake Mead. This was before the bypass bridge and any highway called Interstate 11. When we were there, the road ran across the top of the dam.
Oh yeah, and the rental car was a Dodge Caliber. That helps prove that 2008 was a long time ago. We are not planning a return visit to Hoover Dam this time around.
