And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
You are correct. To access the dam by vehicle you first pass through a security checkpoint on the AZ side. It’s not a through road anymore and after crossing the dam there are vista points but you can’t continue into NV. You must turn around.
I got separated from my tour group in the depths of the Dam a few years ago and found myself alone...I didn't wander off to far away from the phone in the 30 or so minutes it took for someone to come and get me. Interesting place to be all alone.
More important, the Pat Tillman Memorial bridge.
ReplyDeleteAmen brother
DeleteIt's good to see the lake up a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt would be even better to see it up a bit more !
DeleteAfter 9/11, I thought they built the bridge because they weren't allowing vehicles to cross the dam??

ReplyDeleteThat's a fairly new photo. When I was there with my US Marine Vietnam veteran group (in 2007), the bridge had just been started to be constructed.

ReplyDeleteDrove over Dam, no bridge then back in August 1981
ReplyDeleteSaw it at night, 1975. Looked like a scene from the Wizzard of Oz.
