Today, at around 3:00, we drove the ten minutes from our campsite, to the Hoover Dam. I was immediately amazed by how far down the Hoover Dam went, over 700 feet! After walking around, and unleashing my Percy Jackson fandom, (there is a big scene in the third book that takes place at the Hoover Dam) we took a few pictures, checked out the gift shop, and drove across a bridge that overlooked the dam. (though we couldn’t actually see the dam while on the bridge, due to a concrete wall) then we hit the road. When we got back to the campground, we ate giant pancakes and cranberry thyme chicken sausages.
