Today we did the dam tour of Hoover Dam. Our dam guide was very good and the dam was interesting. At one stage in the tour we could go close to a vent and put our arms out of the vent. Now I know what you’re thinking an easy path to the vent, WRONG, there is a grate there and there happened to be a one hundred and fifty foot drop underneath the grate, SCAREY. At one point of the tour we went through a tunnel that led to a large staircase. The stairway up was called the stairway to heaven and the stairway that headed down was called the stairway to hell. Now after that at the end of the tour we went to the gift shop, and I got the best dam shirt in the world. After that we went to Death Valley and we couldn’t find a sign saying Death Valley. At the gift shop I got a shirt that said ‘bring your compass because it’s a bit weird to eat your friends’. After that, on the way out we saw a LARGE Death Valley sign where we got some photos and then went to our hotel. On the outside it looked like a bomb hit it but on the inside it was ok.
