This morning, before we left the Hacienda Casino, I photographed a failed weld on one of our GCI Outdoor director’s chairs.  I e-mailed it to GCI and they will be mailing a replacement to Grandpa Glenn’s house.  Thanks GCI!

There’s a gravel trail from the Lake Mead visitor center to Hoover Dam that follows the old railroad used to build the dam.  I was interested in riding the trail because it has five tunnels.  My parents drove up from Henderson to ride with us:

I rode with our son on from the midpoint down to Hoover Dam:

It was quite a climb back up to the trail where we caught up with the rest of the group.  The white line on the islands is the “bathtub ring” that shows where the water level used to be before withdrawals started to exceed deposits:

After the ride, we drove South and arrived in Laughlin, NV.  We did our laundry in neighboring Boulder City, AZ, then came back to Laughlin. We’re overnighting at the Pioneer Casino.    See the trip map for today’s drive and our current location.
