Yeah, yeah, I know it’s been quite a while since my last post. Life has been very busy, in a good way, but busy none the less. Posting on the site has not been a top priority, and honestly there have been few instances that would be of general interest to publish. But while I was transferring images from my camera today I found new photos of Hoover Dam that were taken about three weeks ago during our drive to Las Vegas, Nevada. I had taken a few photos of the Dam in September when Pete and I went to Vegas for our tenth anniversary, but just a few short months later the progress that has been made, on the bypass bridge especially, is impressive. I have to tip my proverbial hat to the people who built that bridge, as it spans a huge canyon with nothing but a very long fall below. There were no signs indicating when the new bypass and bridge are to be opened, but I can report that the bypass road is under construction but there remain many places where it does not connect. Obviously there is much work left to be done, but I think that it will eventually provide a much needed route around the Dam for those who have already seen it and are just trying to get somewhere.
Within a matter of hours our Indian summer has turned to winter. The huge storm moving across the United States dumped two feet of snow on south west Colorado overnight. The sun is trying to break out this morning but the weather forecast is telling us more storm is on the way. There’s already too much snow for the four wheeler to plow; it keeps getting stuck and Pete is having a heck of a time trying to clear our road. We’re definitely not going anywhere today. It’s okay though, we have plenty of supplies and the internet is working – that’s all we can ask for in this kind of weather.
