Day 255

We had yet another meet this morning way across town. There were so many kids there. In Brandon's race alone there were 204 kids. He came in 77 out of 204 with a time of 16:26. Not bad. Shaved off 3 min from his last meet. Since we were only 15 min or so from Hoover Dam we decided to go drive over it and check out the new bridge they are building to alleviate the traffic issues over the dam. (Construction of the Colorado River Bridge is advancing on the 1,060 foot twin-rib concrete arch. The Colorado River Bridge is the central portion of the Hoover Dam Bypass Project. Construction on the nearly 2,000 foot long bridge began in late January 2005 and the completion of the entire Hoover Dam Bypass Project is expected in Late 2010. When completed, this signature bridge will span the Black Canyon (about 1,600 feet south of the Hoover Dam), connecting the Arizona and Nevada Approach highways nearly 900-feet above the Colorado River). We had a good morning and we were home by noon. I laid out in the pool for a couple of hrs. Until the clouds rolled in, no rain just clouds. Vegas hardly ever gets rain. That is why Lake Mead looks like its drying up.
