We headed out to Hoover Dam for one morning during David's veterinary conference. What an amazing structure. I thought it interesting that all the concrete was poured with NO re-bar. Apparently, the concrete continues to move as it is pushed into the canyon walls from the force of the water behind it. making it more strong. If re-bar were in it, the movement would cause it to crack - not a good thing for one of the biggest dams in America.
We stayed at a swanky hotel in Vegas - this is a picture from the reception room for the workout place. Man, were we pampered.
