Is This a God Damn?

On Sunday morning, we hit the road out of Vegas and headed to the Hoover Dam (those of you familiar with the educational film Beavis and Butthead Do America will no doubt appreciate the reference!).

Ahh-mazing.

Half of the dam is in Nevada and half is in Arizona:

Observing, from the Arizona side

I can certainly appreciate some good civil engineering, but one particularly gobsmacking thing about the Hoover Dam is the fact that it is deco as all get out:

The 1930's was a great time, aesthetically speaking, to be undertaking huge public works!

Seriously!

Even the carpark signage was in keeping with the theme.

After a lap or two of the top of the dam, it was time to get on the road again. Next stop? Utah!
