Amazing Engineering...

All I can say is...why don't we have the same work ethic these days....unbeleivable how the men of the 1930's can construct and build a dam in the middle of the desert and be finished 2 years before schedule...these days we can't even get a simple road finished anytime before scheduled time or budgeted money....maybe it is because we often see 1 person working and 5 or 6 others standing around watching them??!!  The Hoover Dam is a masterpiece of brillance and quite the feat of engineering...we got to step right down inside the power plant....incredible.....I give much credit to the men who hung off the side of a cliff with no OSHA rules and all the "safety precautions" of our day and gave us what we so enjoy today as a "tourist attraction"....humbling experience....so beautiful...
