Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam

I briefly got to visit Hoover Dam on a business trip to Las Vegas. Like the Taj Mahal, it was utterly surreal to see it in person after seeing photographs everywhere since childhood.

I know that dams are generally not great for the environment, but wow, they are incredible pieces of engineering and human accomplishment.

I cannot imagine what it took to build this dam  – and even maintain it to the present day. I hope to visit again when I can see the museum and take a tour.

  • Mud Boiling at Lassen Volcanic National Park

    At Lassen Volcanic National Park, I was surprised by just how volcanic it was, everywhere. And yes, I know it’s in the name. But I was not expecting lava rock to be everywhere and for all the lakes & springs to have a whiff of sulfur and boiling water to them. It feels like the Earth is genuinely alive & active beneath your feet (which, in fairness, it is..). Boiling Hot Springs Lake in the Warner Valley is a little off the beaten track, but we had it all to ourselves on a summer weekend.

  • Constitution Springs in Grant Park

    Atlanta is, curiously, the headwaters of two major river systems (Flint & Ocmulgee). The Flint starts underneath the airport runways. This spot is one source of Intrenchment Creek, which flows to the South River, to the Ocmulgee, to the Altamaha, to the Atlantic. It’s also a lovely spot to enjoy historic landscape architecture.
