Hoover Dam During The War

Watched a show about the Dam during the war and all the concerns from building dummy dams to the machine gun bunkers that are still up on the hill looking towards Arz. Also there was thought about a sum coming up from Colorado river. Has anybody noticed these machine gun bunkers before?

 

I never noticed them...and the odd thing is, having taken two tours of the Hoover Dam...and recent stop on the way to the Grand Canyon, none of our guides pointed them out. It could be that this is not as common knowledge as one would think...

...as there is but one remaining.

 

I watched that special as well....assuming it's the same one where they talk about the nuclear tests. Very interesting

 

I knew they were there, but only because my mother pointed one of them out to me years ago. She taught school in Boulder City during the war.

 

Wow! Cool!

Same one.

 

Learned something new today. Thanks.

 

we took the black canyon river float a couple years ago and the guide mentioned them.
