I remember back when I was a wee little baby WPA photographer. This photo was taken before they closed the dam creating what you kids today call Lake Mead. (photographer's note: The ABOVE photo is a 'derivative work' ala The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.) And if hadn't been for you pesky kids, I'd have owned the whole amusement park!

But U could still skateboard on the dam when the waters low! I feel like I am there. Tad bit woozy.

I actually was there the year I was pregnant with Amy (she's 33+ now) and don't remember a lot about it because I was as sick as a dog. But thanks for the memory regardless!
