How 'Bout Some West Coast Pics...

Nice. What a beautiful set of pix. Makes you realize what a beautiful country we really have from east to west and north to south.

So true. We are going out to Park City in Feb. I really want to spend some time out west this year in the spring or summer. I just looks so cool. :cool:

I'm assuming that Donna can provide some nice west coast pix of the wine country etc? Bring em if you gottem :cool:

I've got 'em, but they are not digital, and I am not to excited about scanning them.

This is a great country! I am most excited to go to see the Hoover Dam. I have never been to Las Vegas and now that MS is 21, we are thinking about taking a quick trip for Spring Break. For some reason, I have always been fascinated about the dam.

Lake Powell... Look how where the water level used to be :blink:





Here's a dam pic

Glen Canyon was not always a canyon. The river created the Canyon, slowly eroding it over many, many years. Now that they built the damn dam, it is a lake and not a canyon. It is pretty though. I have spent some time sleeping right beside the water's edge.

We have seen Hoover Dam twice - it's just an amazing man-made wonder. You should definitely go. It makes a great day trip from Vegas .

Miss Kitty, you will love the trip! I just went last spring and had a great time! Didn't go out to the dam, but just flying over it was awesome! I went with two friends who were die hard gamblers and shoppers, not much on sightseeing- :( Will definitely go back!

Sueshore you are in for a treat - The Dam Hoover Dam is Dam amazing. Dam big. But...I must confess I am much like DestinDreamin's friends and have to be dragged out of the Casinos. I love it. I am sooooo luck there are no Casinos near me - I would probably end up in Gamblers Anonymous :funn:
My husband and daughter always plan out the "other" activities but they are always funn! Have a Dam great trip! 😀

Well DAM it, I will! :rolling:

Be sure to go on the Dam Tour and see the Dam doors and the Dam gadgets. For a real treat, watch Clark and the other Griswald's go on the Dam tour. I forget which movie that was, maybe the Wallyworld movie? She's a real beaut, Clark.

Joe, that's a great pic of your tent at the lake, and being an opponent of dams, i must post some other links and pics. from the Zephyr in Moab, http://www.canyoncountryzephyr.com/stiles-stories/letsdrainlakepowell.htm

while i agree that the dams are quite the architectural feat, the environmental impacts are horrendous. and, for the record, i've been in lake powell.

The DAM movie was "Vegas Vacation". My husband says I am just like Clark Griswald. He and little sunbum have to drag me out of the casino to eat and I eat very quickly and they eat sooooooo slow. I always have to go to the bathroom before they finish and of course on the was back from the BR I seem to become like a magnet at some random slot machine and by the time I get back to them, they have finished lunch, had dessert, paid the tab and are waiting for me. They don't get mad at me - it has really become a real joke because when I say "excuse me for moment" they know exactly what is going to happen.
