We checked out the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge they built to bypass the route across Hoover dam. The sweeping arch and long slender support columns look dainty next to the giant slab of concrete that is Hoover dam. They did a great job with the visitors’ displays that tell the story of the construction and the guys that are memorialized. Well worth the visit.
We strolled across the Hoover Dam. It looks pretty much like it did last time we were there except no through traffic.
Oktoberfest Kingman…..I just had to know how Southwesterners might celebrate brats and beer. The only polka we heard was the canned music between the Bluegrass (not bad) and the rock band (pretty bad). The brat and kraut was yummy and I even tried a beer, pumpkin spice. It was still beer! The Germans make some pretty good wine too, why don’t they ever serve that at Oktoberfest events? We cut out before the chicken dance contest and water holding contest (hold a full stein at arms length the longest). I even got some Mardi Gras-like beads. All I had to do is smile to get them! It was a fun evening.
