The next morning we bid Sam and Marty, "Adieu", and headed off towards San Diego CA via the scenic route. We followed Highway 93 which parallels the shoreline of Lake Mead,until it reaches Boulder City , where it turns and crosses the Hoover Dam.
The Hoover dam is the gateway to all the water that is needed to feed Southern California and Arizona.
shortly after the 911 terrorist attack construction began on a new bridge which is removes automobile traffic from the top of the dam..
The new bridge is nearly completed and we may be in one of the last vehicles to ever be allowed to drive across the dam
Continuing to folw the Colorado River Downstream
We cam to Lake Havasu
We couldn't have timed it better. The whole desert was awash with a glorious spring wildflower bloom.
Further on we came to Glamis CA which brought back fond memories for Bruce dunebuggy camping trips with his sons when they were boys.
