Fri. Nov 8, 2013 - Lade Mead National Rec Area

Today we took the morning off to beat the heat and the crowds at

Where we took a 6 mile round trip hike along an historic train track path that was in operation during the building of Hoover Dam in the 30's.

There are five tunnels along the way

and a lovely view of Lake Mead  - bonus!

After the hike, we had lunch in Boulder City just outside the Nat. Rec. Area and then we went to the Boulder City library to work for the rest of the afternoon.  Dang!!!! I forgot to take a picture of the library!!!  We are getting quite a long string of libraries to our travel scoreboard.
