Lake Mead at Hoover Dam (11/05/2020) Panorama by kenne
Lake Mead reached its lowest in July 2022. One year later, Mead’s elevation is inching back up. A combination
of historic winter snowpack and new federal agreements to pay cities, farmers, and tribes to conserve water
is expected to continue to raise Mead, according to the most recent federal data.
Early on the morning of May 22nd, we began our road trip/cruise by driving up to Las Vegas,
a familiar drive since we frequently go to Vegas. Since Joy gets food and room comps,
our stay in Vegas at the MGM Park, nestled between the T-Mobile Arena and New York-New York Resort.
View from our MGM Park room.
Our food and drink at the Eataly in the Park, the largest Italian marketplace with restaurants worldwide.
We always seem to order more than we can eat.

The Rocks
of these mountains
are no match against
the mighty river.
Weary of its motion
they open to
potent penetration.
