other dog Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Great pictures there! I went down the old crooked road with the switchbacks and across the dam itself years ago. Pulled over at the end to look it over, but I don't think cameras had been invented at that time. Very impressive sight to see anyway. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I used to stop at the top of the hill at the first casino. to pick up Nevada permits. Traffic was so heavy the last time I crossed, my son got out of the truck, took pictures and got back in before I got across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive sight to see anyway.First time i ever went over the dam itself was in my MH,E-6 400,with dual 5" straight pipes (young and stupid) now old and deaf! but starting down the grade in about 5th or 6th gear ,jake in the third position man o man was that music! (maybe not so much to a non-truckdriver) that was always a nice drive,some pretty country for sure!..................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

David Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Notice how low the water level in the lake is. We were there in Aug '09. They said it was the lowest since they built the dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Found some pictures from 09. Shows how low the lake is and the bridge under construction from a different perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
