Hoover Dam and Chloride, AZ

I'm finally caught up! Today, dad and I went on another 300 mile trip to see something interesting. We took a trip to the Hoover Dam in Nevada and on the way, made a pit stop at a ghost town called Chloride, AZ. The dam tour was pretty dam amazing.

6 turbines on the Nevada side - There are 7 more on the Arizona side
