Nevada

Yesterday, I arrived in Las Vegas, NV. As most of you know, I will be in Nevada for the next nine months inspecting a large construction project on North Shore Road of lake Mead. I actually went to the job site today, and saw the desert that will be my home away from home. It actually reminds me of Ratone Pass in New Mexico. The road curves a lot, and there are a lot of rock hills (I can't quite call them mountains, but they are pretty large).

Today must have been a test drive day or something, because we saw at least 20 Ford GT40's speed by us. They were all race ready, and going 75+ on the 50 mph road.

I also got to visit the Hoover Dam Bypass job site today. You think the Hoover Dam is high off the ground, this bridge is 800 feet above it. I stood on the edge of the bridge, and the river is 3000 feet below!! I was shaking (I am terrified of heights), but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see.

I will be back in Denver tomorrow, and I will be there for one more week before moving here until the project is done. I will post pics from this trip as soon as I can.
