About Us

We don't really know how to do a blog so be patient with us as we explore this and in time hopefully you will enjoy reading it. As we are retired now & have sold our house we live in a campground for the summer and now we are going to travel to find a place to call home for the winter months. This blog is about our travels in our quest to find that place we can call home for the winter. We will enjoy having you along with us on our travels.

2010-11-18 Bike Ride to The Hoover Dam

This is a good picture of the washboards in the
road that Wayne & Donna live on.

 Scenery on our way to the Hoover Dam.






 Looking back.

  



 





 Notice the overpass ahead that was built so the 
rams could cross the road to avoid accidents.

 Can you spot the ram.

 Here it is zoomed in.



 Going across the Pat Tillman Bridge into Nevada. 
Notice the people on the right that are walking out on the 
bridge to look down at the Hoover Dam.

 This is the road that goes to the walkway on the 
Pat Tillman Bridge and also the Hoover Dam.

 Looking down at the road we were just on.


 Security check before you can get to the Hoover Dam.

 Parking lot to walk up on the Pat Tillman Bridge.

 Large group of motorcycles coming down the road.
At least 42 of them.

 Bill stopped to take his helmet off and we saw 
this unusual looking trike.

  Can you tell it has a steering wheel?

 You can't sneak up on someone in the desert.
