 | | Hoover Dam and new highway construction) 02:12England YouTuber “Ajdpadbury” is my guest host on this video, about our visit to Hoover Dam, which sits on the border of Nevada and Arizona, not far from Las Vegas. The video also shows how construction more...is progressing on the bypass highway that will one day speed motorists past Hoover Dam, instead of having to do the “snail paced” crawl across the dam that currently occurs on the narrow two lane road.
Hoover Dam was constructed between 1931 and 1936. It cost $165 million to build and took 4,400,000 CUBIC YARDS of CONCRETE!! The dam is 726.4 feet tall.
The Lake Mead water level “crests” at the dam at a height of 1,232 feet above sea level. The current water level is only at about 1,110 feet high. Rapidly expanding Las Vegas gets 90% of its water from Lake Mead. If the water level were to ever drop below 1,000 feet, then Vegas would be in HUGE trouble, since the water intakes for Vegas are set at that level. Here’s an interesting website that charts the water levels of Lake Mead: http://www.arachnoid.com/NaturalResources/index.html and here’s a website with more statistics about the dam: http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/dams/nv10122.htm

Red Rock is an area of worldwide geologic interest more...and beauty.
The most significant geologic feature of Red Rock Canyon is the Keystone Thrust Fault. A thrust fault is a fracture in the earth's crust where one rock plate is thrust horizontally over another. About 65 million years ago, it is believed that two of the earth's crustal plates collided with such force that part of one plate was shoved up and over younger sandstones. This thrust contact is clearly defined by the sharp contrast between the grey limestones and the red sandstones. The Keystone Thrust Fault extends from the Cottonwoood Fault (along the Pahrump Highway) 13 miles northward to the vicinity of La Madre Mountain, where it is obscured by more complex faulting.
Rock art within Red Rock comes in two varieties, petroglyphs and pictographs. The difference between the two types is the manner in which they were made. Petroglyphs were pecked into the surface of the rock. Pictographs were painted on the rock. In Red Rock Canyon a coating of dark "desert varnish" on lighter sandstone provides the perfect medium for petroglyphs, which are the most common of the two types of rock art found at Red Rock. If you want to discover some petroglyphs firsthand, the Red Spring area has a wide variety of different styles on the cliff faces and fallen boulders.

We had a GREAT time!!!! Here’s more...the info on the skywalk from the official website (http://destinationgrandcanyon.com/skywalk.html):
“The Glass Bridge Construction of the Skywalk began March of 2004 and will open March 28, 2007.
“Upon completion, the Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the stucture passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more than 71 million pounds). The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.”
- - - - -
To get to and from the Skywalk, it requires you to drive on 28 miles of VERY dusty dirt road with sections of fairly deep gravel and “washboard” surfacing, so after again reaching the “land of paved roads”, I pulled over and wiped the dirt off my SUV, and we visited with two really adventurous Harley riders from Alaska who had done the dirt road on their big Harleys! I’ve been a motorcyclist for 38 years, but would only wanna do THAT road on a off-road type DIRT bike!!
No cameras of ANY kind are allowed ON the Skywalk, and it’s difficult (and becoming INCREASINGLY difficult) to even film the Skywalk while OFF the structure, so just be aware of that if you plan to visit this unique structure, because most of your memories of your visit will be IN your memory!! You can tho’ buy commemorative photos, taken by Skywalk employees, of yourself on the Skywalk, but, if I recall correctly, those photos start at around $26, so Anthony and I stood off to the side of the Skywalk, and used our camera zoom lenses instead! Also, it costs a minimum of $74.95 per person to walk on the Skywalk, so we considered it a “once in a lifetime” kinda experience, but the view FROM the Skywalk, and the view THROUGH the TOTALLY “SEE-THROUGH” type WALKWAY SURFACE of the Skywalk below your feet to the ground thousands of feet below was WELL worth it!, altho’ we noticed that quite a few people experienced a DEFINITE fear of heights once they’d look down and see “nothing” supporting them! LOL

Some of my friends think I’m nuts (which isn’t atypical for me LOL), but archery is much like some forms of meditation, because you have to clear your mind and have a singular focus in order to shoot well.
I’ve got an indoor “shooting range” in my home, which consists of standing at the far end of one room, then shooting arrows thru’ that room, then thru’ a hallway, then through a bedroom and into the target bag LOL, but this video footage was taken at my friend’s ranch, where I can have fun shooting at distances up to around 150 feet.

I think that type of “migration” behavior is unique to humans more...(for instance, you don’t hear about huge gray whales migrating somewhere just to be entertained by watching penguins play! LOL). Anyway, watch the video if you want more clarification of this latest, seemingly bizarre, theory of mine :)
What got me thinkin' about this, was that I'm watchin' the INCREDIBLE "Planet Earth" series on the Discovery Channel every Sunday night, and they often talk about "migration" of mammals, fish, and birds . . . there are only four episodes of this great 11 part series left to watch, so if you haven't watched any yet, please DO!! You WON'T be disappointed!
. . . and DANG!! . . I only NOW realized, after uploading this, that I didn't spell "Hawaii" correctly in my video!!! . . . so much for my "graduated with honors" advanced university degree diploma I got back in '74! LMAO

(any of my close friends will tell you that I ALWAYS have theories spinnin' around in my head more...LOL)
I've always known that little kids focus "solely in the moment", whereas older kids, and particularly adults, usually lose that ability as they grow older. It's understandable, because the older you get, the more that your thoughts are consumed by your responsibilities, worries, problems, and commitments, etc.
My theory is that one of the best ways to force your brain to "shut off" the worries of the day for a while, and TRULY "live in the moment" again, is to take thrill rides :) :)
So today when I went to SeaWorld, I decided to head over to their "Journey to Atlantis" ride and test out my theory :) , and YEP!!, after watchin' many boatloads of people drop down the steep slope durin' this park ride, I saw that almost EVERYBODY had a smile on his or her face, so for those few seconds of the steep dropoff, I'd be willing to bet that NOBODY had worried about their car payments, upcoming income taxes, work problems, or anything OTHER than the ride itself, so for those few seconds, the people had "re-learned" how to truly "live in the moment" and were happier as a result :) :)
So sit back and enjoy the ride for 2:41 seconds :) :) and listen to Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City".
