Lake Mead Drought ~ Officially Over
"It
seemed like it would never happen, but it has!"
The
water in Lake Mead, the largest man-made reservoir in America,
has been rising steadily for over a year now, and the drought
line of 1125' has finally been passed! "It's great to
have the lake back up, and the water's still flowin' in!" 
The
current water elevation is 1134.52' (January 22, 2012). In fact,
it's risen
over 53' in just 14 months. The last time the water
was this high was in April
of 2006. Get all of
the facts from the US Bureau of Reclamation

What's the temperature? When?
Today?
Tomorrow?
Or when you plan to be out on a houseboat? The answers are there
for the taking, almost "floating" on your screen. (wink)
Start
with "Today and Tomorrow." Visit your favorite
houseboat marina page and current weather information for that
location will appear above the top image on the right side. Click
on the "High/Low" icon to make it "float"
longer.
Thinking
more in the future?
Then check out the "Average Air and Water
Temperatures" charts for each lake. They make great
planning tools and are located on each lakes' information page. (The
chart for Lake Powell is shown below.)

Tried the new bridge yet?
It's
been open for over a year now and the reviews are rolling in! "It
saves time crossing the river, the traffic doesn't even slow, and
we almost missed the fact that we were on a bridge" said
one enthusiastic motorist.
It took
five years to complete, spans over 2000 feet above the Colorado
River, is just south of Hoover Dam, and connects Arizona and
Nevada on the US 93. It's called the bypass.
The
official name of the bridge is the "Mike O'Callaghan-Pat
Tillman Memorial Bridge"
The
best part is that it seems to be saving drivers a lot of time by
bypassing the delays that used to plague the Hoover Dam crossing.
Most drivers report shaving an hour off their trip to Las Vegas
and Callville Bay.
Happy
Motoring!
