Hoover Dam Nevada – YouTube Travel


There were 112 deaths associated with the construction of the dam. Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. The dam was controversially named in honor of President Herbert Hoover. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and the lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned over the dam to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. music by Kammerer 03 – Why on earth and 07 – Every thought counts

Valley of Fire Nevada State Park


Visited a rare beauty, Nevada’s oldest and largest state park, Valley of Fire. A popular filming location (Transformers, Star Trek Generations, The Professionals, Criss Angel Mindfreak, Domino, Total Recall, Cherry 2000, etc); namely car commercials. Forces within the earth have been powerful enough to cause 1000s of feet of surface rock to fold, break, and in some areas push several miles from their original location, once on the bottom of a deep ocean basin. Today, erosion has worn away the top of the great fold, exposing the sharply angled layers of rock and creating numerous canyons—of red, orange, and yellow striking sandstone formations. I enjoyed my visit to this vast desert—taking in red sand dunes, desert scrubs, and beautiful green creosote bushes, 3000 year old Indian Petroglyphs, and so much more. And was surprised to hear the park was dedicated on my birthday, Easter, March 26 yet back in the 1930s. Please check out my new poetry video from Valley of Fire (posted on Easter 2009) called “Valley Heart” … if you wish: www.youtube.com

Back in July 1995, my family and I were dining at Thai Spice restaurant in Las Vegas, NV. As we were sitting at our table waiting for our order, I see a limousine drive up to the front door of the restaurant. Coming out of the limousine, I see Montel Williams and a couple of other people. I was not expecting Montel’s arrival to the restaurant, so I was unable to quickly prepare my camera and film the limousine driving to the front door.

Later, the waitress asked me if I was the person who filmed Montel. I told her that I did. The waitress told me not to do that again. The nerve of this guy to ask not to be filmed !!!!

Montel Williams comes into the restaurant. He and his female partner (Grace Morley?) gesture to me NOT to take their photograph. Later, the waitress asked me if I was the person who took photos of Montel. I admitted that I did. The waitress told me not to film him again.

The nerve of this guy! Who does he think he is, anyway? Does he think that he is some Big Shot talk show host who wants to choose the people that can photograph him?? Anyone else have any other similar experience with this guy??
