Thanks for watching! And thanks for the compliments. If your son likes cars one idea for you is to take a little detour and visit Peach Springs in between Hoover dam and Williams. That’s the town radiator springs was based on; it’s located on Route 66.

You’re welcome! My boys loved Cars and we watched that movie a million times. Truth be told, I never got tired of it. :)
Hello. I was there a few years ago. There was a tour offered inside this dam. I saw huge electric turbine make power for - if I remember correctly - four states nearby. Great place.

You are right about the dam serving multiple states. We saw models of the turbines but didn't get to see an actual because the tour was closed. Hopefully next time......
Wait to visit until the tour is offered.
