    Are we talking about the same bridge? There's water under that bridge. Lake Mead on the north side, then lake Mohave on the south side.

    And big "T"? I don't see what you're talking about. Not trying to be argumentative here.

    You will love to go to Willow Beach Arizona. It is on the upper side of the dam. They just finished remodeling the marina and campground or you can take a boat down to one of the canyon water ways and have your very own beach.

    Sadly Lake Mead is on pace to go dry in about 15 years if nothing changes.

    That's Nevada right outside of Boulder City in the middle pointing towards LV.

    You must have a stop in there somewhere because there are reasonable alternate routes. Isn't it very costly with the escorts and all? Before the bridge was even built, I'd run a set of doubles across the bridge and could stay in the lane before the Dam ending south. Could never do it with a semi. I don't think it can be done without the tires crossing over. Lots of fun and lots to look at but you had to give up time because you could never just make it through there unless late in the night.
