Leaving Las Vegas
This is a top pick! ... to the lake made the last 8 miles effortless. We are in the Hoover Dam area and will ride across it tomorrow. Lake Mead is wonderful, the stark contrast of the blue waters against the dusty rocks of the mountains around is quite a sight. We ...
Princip kluzaku demonstrovany na lahvi vody
... , takze budu muset uz tak kratke texty asi jeste trochu zkratit. Na ceste z Vegas jsme se zastavili vykoupat v krasnem jezere Lake Mead a prejeli jsme take masivni hraz prehrady Hoover Dam. Kdyz jsem byl v US posledne, vysvetloval nam jeden pan na letisti ...
Hoover Dam and Lake Mead
... hat etlichen Arbeitern das Leben gekostet. Fertig gestellt wurde er 1936 und hat Las Vegas von da an mit Strom versorgt. Der Lake Mead und seine Beachen sind schoen an zu schauen, aber wegen der ganzen Muecken und dem staubigen Booden, nicht ...
why soo hot? i can't sleeeeep
... to camp the night. It was incredibly hot, about 93 degrees Fahrenheit which is no fun and it didn't really cool down at all. Lake Mead is a random place, such old history and rocks and the landscape is amazing but so dry and feels totally weird to be ...
Sure it's hot-but its a dry heat.
Yosemite National Park to Death Valley to Lake Mead I’m up, packed and on the road by 6 am. Not because I couldn’t sleep wondering where the bear would strike next but mainly due to the fact that I will be going through Death ...
Lake Mead and Hoover Dam
Yay, beautiful Lake Mead. Part of the Hoover Dam and Colorado river. Absolutely beautiful weather, warm and sunny, with sunsets to die for. Got to bring out the shorts and t-shirts. Got a great spot on the Lake's edge. Fantastic view to ...
A night on the lake
... in Las Vegas to clear out. It is 3:30 pm. We decide we might as well start taxing toward Las Vegas. Lake Mead is very interesting with its rock cliff shoreline. The rain has reached us and it rains hard for 3 hours! It is ...
Day 2
Its never really dark at night because we are camped near the toilets and the light shines in, so when I wake up it is quite decieving. Woke up early waiting for the 06.00 wake up call by John Donovan - the machine who can do the work of 5 men, he's ...
Toooobzzz
We thought we were seed collecting again today but we actually had to make nearly 400 lengths of irrigation tubing. It made me get blisters on 3 of my fingers, which when we went to the hot springs after lunch, made climbing extremely difficult. This ...
Day 7!!!
Last full day! Hoped for a day of seed sorting. Started with seeds, after break went with Nicks crew to spread the remaining seed balls over the Arizona side of the dam. Then litter picked. Back to the nursery and raked leaves, oh my god ...
Day 4 of project
... are more but remember another time. Actually finished work today at 2.30 (unheard of), so we were taken to the Lake Mead visitors centre which was really interesting :-) Then actually got to walk around the campsite down to the lake! Dinner ...
Day 2 of project
This was a full day of making seed balls, super boring but easy work. In the morning I volunteered to do some clearing out of the greenhouses which was a little labour intensive with wheel barrowing etc. All this time I have forgotten to mention ...
Nevada Hot Springs
We managed to arrive at camp next to lake mead just before lunch so we were able to go to the Nevada hot springs :D the walk was an epic one! it wasn't as long as the one to the Arizona hot springs but there was a hell of a lot of climbing involved! And ...
When I Melted :(
... at least! So that was really difficult! Then we put the stays in on the fence to keep it together. We then went to the lake to go swimming but I think it was even colder than yesterday! It felt like you needed your wetsuit. We then went back to camp ...
Lazy Day
... of myself! We were then allowed to go to the lake where the other group was camping so we could go and have a swim in the lake. It was freezing but refreshing, especially as I hadn't had a shower for 3 days. We cooked our food at their campsite and then ...
Hoover Dam
On the way to Las Vegas we stopped at the amazing Hoover Dam to see what that was all about. It's an awesome place - built in the 30's in the wake of the depression, this project put thousands of men to work on one of the world's biggest engineering ...
Project 2: Lake Mead
We headed back to Lake Mead for the next project although this time we headed to the Nevada side and stayed in a campsite near to Boulder Beach for the first three nights. We spent the first two working days doing odd jobs, the first day we drove between ...
Lake Mead - június 3. (csütörtök)
... mert elkészült a hajó frontfedélzetén sütögetett vacsi. (…) Az embert egy percig nem hagyják nyugton! Szóval: Lake Mead. A híres Hoover-gát (lásd még Szökés c. film Harrison Forddal) által elrekesztve, a Colorado-folyó ...
Day 4 of project, back to Flagstaff
So, up at 05.30 today so we could pack the tents away. We did 5 hours of work from 7 to midday (our days are normally 10 hours 7 until 5). Today was my lowest day, I really struggled physically which got me down and made me quite moody, also ...
Day 3
Ok, now the work gets physical. By the way, we are up at 06.00 every day, I am tending to wake up super early anyway, I remembered to eat and make my little pack lunch full of nuts and crisps. We spent a lot of time moving the cacti onto a trailer so ...
The Hoover Dam
... ; While we were swimming we saw 3 huge fish, and one of the fish pecked the raft that I was sitting on! I didn’t like Lake Mead that much because the water was dirty and it smelled. After we went swimming I went to bed. I had a really ...
Cactus spikes just get everywhere!!
Had a seriously surprising day today!! We had to plant cactus all day. It was so so difficult! Firstly I had to plant all the teddy bear cacti and all the cholla. They were seriously spiky! With the teddy bear cacti, they have barbs on the end of the ...
Cinquičme projet : Lake Mead
Honnętement, je suis content d'en avoir fini avec ce projet parce que je ne peux pas dire que les conditions étaient idéales. Au niveau du groupe d'abord, on était 38 volontaires et 4 superviseurs pour cette mission, du coup question organisation ...
'Educational' Day (more like 'have loads of fun')
... , but managed to go to the hot springs too! So firstly we stopped off at the Hoover Dam to have a quick wander! The water level in the lake is so so low, much lower than when we went to the Hoover dam last time! So that's not good for Las Vegas. We then ...
Rehab project day 1
We camped in a different part of the campsite, next to all the RV's and were all split up. This time, I completely dominated putting up my tent - in fact I did it super quickly! Woop. Am determined to do well and keep more positive than the ...

"I don't want to know what lives in that hole."
... are really the only people who go camping, it seems. But I guess it's nice to be thought of or something. Today (Wednesday), I left Lake Mead and drove via Overton and I-15 to Cedar City, Utah. The drive was gorgeous! It's hard to take pictures while ...
Day 4 - planting beavertail in Arizona
Hot chocolate over my cheerio's for breakfast, I can't beat the cereal eaters so I have decided to join them! Over the Hoover Dam again, spent the WHOLE day planting beavertail cactus. Little Karl, on his third scoop of shovelling put his back out ...
