The weather wasn't great while we were there, kind of cold and rainy. I was a little worried that the weather forecast wouldn't be good for the wedding since it was scheduled to be an outdoor affair. We were keeping our fingers crossed. It was now Thursday so we had one more day for it to clear up. You can't go to Vegas without seeing the Hoover Dam. We thought about a tour bus but decided that we didn't want to be locked in to their schedule so we took off on our own. It was not the best day for a visit but it did clear up enough for periods of time that we were able to walk out on the dam and get out at some of the outlooks. This first shot is looking down the face of the dam. There was a wall about 3 1/2 feet high and 2 feet wide separating the sidewalk from the steep fall. I could not believe that as windy and wet as it was, people were standing up on that wall getting their pictures taken. One slip and there was nothing but concrete and river to stop you.
