Entering Lake Mead National Recreation AreaOn the way to the music festival, I took Route 93 out of Wickenberg, AZ, up through Kingman and then to Lake Mead NRA. Currently, the highway goes right over Hoover Dam, but a new bridge and roadway is being built to divert traffic off the dam. I then drove through Lake Mead up to Interstate 15 and then north to southern Utah.
Barren and desolate

Massive bridge support
The GridBonus Video: I took video as I was crossing Hoover Dam, which will be a thing of the past once they open the new bridge to traffic. No people or animals were harmed during the filming of this video, nor were any citations issued.

Did you see Frogman attempt to infiltrate the intake-portals?
Yeah, but I plinked them with a high-powered rifle. They went belly up, then sank to the cold, cold bottom.
You drove your car through the lake!?!?
The mighty Hoover is a thing of beauty. Who else but god could invent that thing?
I did. I overinflated my tires and the deep treads acted like a waterwheel. It was awesome.
Did those RVs have a permit, or at least a stick to give to the ranger on the other side?
Aud - Ahhhh, memories of tunnel duty. Good times, good times.
