LAKE MEADE and the HOOVER DAM was our second "old folks" bus tour. It was a very interesting and educational experience. The enormity of it all is a bit hard to conceive. The lake is beautiful, but as you can see in the background of this wonderful picture of Bobby, the water level is down considerably, over 90 feet. We were told this is the result of a 10 year drought in the area. This water supply is vital to California, Arizona and Nevada.
