Lake Mead RV Park was our home base in Nevada.
It was located between Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam.
This is a view of the Lake mead Marina.
Note: this was a copy of the Stars and Stripes article on the ten best places in the world to view wild flowers. Way to GO Bruce!
Lake Mead was created to maintain a reliable water source for Hoover Dam.
The shore line around the lake has some interesting rock formations.

A tour of Hoover Dam is a must see. |
The visitor parking facility itself is an engineering marvel.
