Flags Across the Dam

[SpyderAnn01]

It was a gorgeous day for a ride. There were several hundred bikes out for the ride across the Hoover Dam and memorial service at the Veteran's Cemetary in Boulder City, NV. We lined up on the Arizona side of the dam and were escorted across the dam to the cemetary. There were 2 other Spyders in the parade and 2 more that watched the parade. After the service our group rode to Willow Beach for lunch then back to Arizona for lottery tickets and then home through Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Would have liked to have seen that. Would be even better to do the ride.

That wind WAS crazy wasn't it? Is there an exit from the new bridge to get to the AZ side of Hoover?

No, you have to take the Dam exit from the NV side and go through the security checkpoint. We had guests in last week and on Friday we took them to the Dam. I was surprised that they let us walk across the bridge it was crazy. Hard to walk and I had to hold my glasses on my head.

Driving across the new bridge is a let down. You can't tell that you are even on a bridge but if you take the exit and go down to the dam the view of the bridge is incredible. I'd suggest walking across the bridge first then going on to the Dam and parking. You will be shocked at how high up you were. When you and HG come to NV we will take you to the dam.
