I lived 10 years in the Chihuahuan Desert in the Big Bend Region of Texas and been to the Mojave Desert many times and it is amazing at the flowers that bloom after the rainy season. The whole place smells so good after a rain storm and it is amazing the diverse life that survives in such a harsh landscape. Although I thought I'd ask how many got to drive on top of the dam before they made the new bridge for it?

LoopyLynda74, drive on top of the dam? I did every Wednesday for 2 years! delivered frozen foods, produce and dry goods to the Peach Springs AZ post office on Route 66 to be prepared for horse and mule transport to the Hualapai Indian Reservation at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. One of few if not the only post office that has a walk in refrigerator/freezer in the US! Best job I ever had!

LoopyLynda74, I believe that 911 had a lot to do with the bridge being built. It may have been designed before but I've been inside the dam, on top of the dam and in the Colorado River looking up at it. Never been over the bridge though.

MALICE, it may be hard to breathe but NO humidity. Come to Alabama for 100% humidity, and sweat like your body is on fire in 90 degrees. Talk about hard to breathe? I’ll take Nevada or Arizona any day. Just sayin…

LoopyLynda74, I grew up in Boulder City, NV. My father worked for LAW&P at Hoover Dam. Been over and across the dam too many times to count. Saw Lake Mead so full of water, that it was flowing over the extended levees and into the spillways.
