The temperature is down to normal for this time of the year in Bolder City. 85s during the day 70s during the night. Just right for us.
If you remember from the last time we went to Bolder Dam the elevator for the Dam Tour was broken so we decided to go back another time. They gave us a phone number to call to check if the elevator was working. We called and called, it rang and rang. No answer. On Friday we decided just to take our chance and show up early for the tour. As it worked out, it was working and we were on the first tour.
We took the elevator 500 feet down.
This is on of water tunnels that feed the turbines.
Walking through the Maintenance Tunnel to the Generator room.
Generator room on the Nevada side. There is another just like this on the Arizona side.
These are the steps leading all the way down and all the way up. They are used if the elevator breaks down.
This is one of many Earthquake sensors through out the Dam. The Dam is built on a earthquake fault. According to our guide the Dam is built to withstand earthquakes. We will see someday.
We are staying in Bolder City until after Memorial Day. We do not like to be on the road during big holiday weekends. Then start heading north to Wyoming.
Yes, I know there is lots to see in this area, but there is lots to see everywhere and we will be back in Nevada.
Stay tuned, more adventures to come.
Life is great on the Roan Road…
