ALONG THE COLORADO
This issue we're going fishing, boating, swimming and we're going to have fun in the sun. We're visiting the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
There's so much for us to do we hardly know where to start. The Area, supervised by the National Park Service, covers a lot of country as well as lake. It begins in the north where the boundaries of the Grand Canyon National Monument end, and it ends in the south below Davis Darn. The Area goes along the river for about 185 miles, includes approximately 1,899,728 acres of land and lake with as variegated a personality as one can find any place on earth.
We're going to visit Hoover Dam, take the elevator and explore the innards of one of the mightiest man-made creations in the world. We're also going to visit Davis Dam, quite a pile of dirt, serving a most useful function as a power producer and as a controller of the river's waters. Our host at Hoover and Davis Darns will be the Bureau of Reclamation, the organization which operates the model cities of Boulder City, Nevada, and Davis Dam, Arizona, places where we can spend a pleasant afternoon.
We'll be busy whether we like to fish, speed in a boat, lazily sail, swim, explore or just loaf. If we go in the spring, and there have been rains, we can glory in the vistas of wild flowers that cover the brown, stark hills. Whenever we go, we can be assured of plenty of sunshine to frolic in, for the Area is in the heart of a sunny land.
Here is America's newest playground, one of the biggest. The National Park Service and the Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the Dams and the Area for our pleasure, are doing a splendid job. To the men and women of these services, who are doing so much to develop this playground for us, are these pages respectfully dedicated . . . R.C.
