It's spooky and a little creepy.

Lake Mead, the largest man made lake in the country...
Full of boating fun.. Home of the Hoover Dam... Set in the middle of the desert.

Not the prettiest lake out there.

But beware! This place is jinxed.. The Vegas area likes to keep that part a secret.

First thing you notice as you drive up the back way, is the huge amount of road side crosses.

So many tacky crosses.

Just this morning the roads claimed the life of another young man.

People die when they go to Lake Mead National Park. 

All summer long drowning were reported...

Yet folks still go out every weekend, thinking they don't need no stupid life jacket.

I say just put the damn thing on and live to tell the tale of what a wimp you are.

See? Not sexy with or without it! 

If the reckless driving on the roads and the lakes spooky vortex don't grab ya... Strip club owners will..

LAKE MEAD SHOOTING: Four charged with slaying

Palomino Club owner's daughter, son accused of hiring hit men

Yesterday as we were exploring, both Chell and I decided, Lake Mead is creepy, and better left to the tourists.

Welcome to Hell I say.

It's hot and stinky.... yet fascinating.. oh Hell, I know we will go back someday soon..

 There are cool places to stop along the way..

I give the whole lake Mead experience a B....  

Not somewhere you would want to swim... too hot to picnic. 

 

But it has that underlying aura of foreboding...

Will I survive this Sunday outing kind of thrill!

All and all if I want to splash in natures waters, it's worth 5 hours to the beach!

Much better!

Not to be an alarmist... but I think the Lakes Mojo followed us home...

There was this little episode at 3am this morning... I blame the Lake.

PSA... everyone go lift your tank and make sure that black tube thingy is inserted into that white overflow tube.  Make sure it never leaves...
