My Tour of the Hoover Dam!

[@Bob-yl9pm]

I always wanted to see Hoover Dam, thank you

[@pomonabill220]

I went camping on Lake Mead with my family, and we took a tour of the dam.... in 1967! I did a report of the dam for a school project, complete with B&W pictures and hand written text. WOW that was a while ago! I'm 66 now.

excellent tour and tour guide. I watched another video on here where the guy got escorted around by an employee and he was shown all kinds of stuff. I toured this back in 1990, great tour and marvel of engineering.

[@JoeyJr702]

I took the tour with family when I was 10, back in the summer of 1981 and the spillway was loudly overflowing. It was sad to see recently with my children with such a low water level in December 2021.

Cool video! I didn't pick up all the information when I was on my tour, so this was really useful. Thanks for the post!

[@phylwilton1966]

This part about the electric generators is fascinating. And This was the part that I found the most interesting, when I was there, about thirty years ago.

[@rogercooper8345]

Interesting how the tours never include a walk out to the intake towers. I went out there myself once and peered into one of the windows. It seemed to contain motors that raise/lower the cylindrical gates, and a crane of some sort maybe to lower down maintenance workers. They seem to be off limits now. The more something is off limits, the more curious it makes people.

[@carlsaganlives6086]

OF COURSE ya can't see the cool shit anymore..probably due to safety, lawsuits, the no-fun police, etc. At least this 'generic' tour is pretty tight.

I have been on many Hoover Dam tours since I was a child in the 1960's and I have never seen these things that you are seeing on your yellow wrist band tour. Your are doing an incredible filming job, so real that I forgot that it's just a video!

[@kainis2k]

Thanks! I come back to re-watch it from time to time. I'm glad to have shared it with you all

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@kainis2k I’m sure glad that you shared as well!

[@rebeccawing316]

Hoover Dam is an amazing destination and I had a helicopter tour to there last week by booking tickets from NVSTARR!!! It leaves a great impression for me

[@Dwendele]

I love that documentary you stared the vid with! I was almost disappointed when your part started.

[@mashinajoe]

Hoover Dam's a beast

[@cakakic1988]

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed the tour.

[@BackInTheGarden]

Look into, what they call a 'shotgun mic'. No echoes, best audio.

[@kainis2k]

@@BackInTheGardenWe were using a rode shotgun mic. Echoes were all you heard in those tunnels and shafts.

[@GarretGrayCamera]

I have VHS footage of this tour from back in 1991! We got some same shots! That lit up animated map of the dam and tunnels was the same from way back then!

[@Johnconno]

It's a popular pick up joint for local swingers. 🏌♿💨

[@ndbeshildscvlog7999]

Amazing content new friend sending my sweet support to your blog.

[@VoeViking]

Well fimed, thank you.

[@HardRockMaster7577]

I took the Hard Hat Tour in 2000. I remember the tunnel vent at 28:00

[@BackInTheGarden]

NOW... He say's... for the 18th time today. We appreciate your knowledge & your training, I would just try to keep it more real... IF possible. I wouldn't feel wrong should I refer to my manual... and answers to tourists.

[@DW-ts5ki]

The tour guide is driving me crazy with his ok, ok, ok

[@davidallen346]

Reminds me of the National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation movie

[@Bobshouse]

When I went through, several of the cracks were leaking water....scary.

[@CrankyBeach]

The tour guides were still telling the same jokes in 2018 when I went.... :)

43.13 he's wrong. Concrete keeps curing forever. It gets harder and stronger constantly.

[@BackInTheGarden]

Any other questions... Yeah, a lady asks... 'what's a coffer dam'? .. One sentence could answer that excellent question... And he proceeds to reading the robot manual, Now where's my paycheck?

[@mashinajoe]

Cement is just the glue. Concrete is the correct word.

[@1A12BRANDON]

Where can I get some dam bait

[@kevonslims7269]

That’s some cool s***

[@MeaHeaR]

Wow that guide Gentlé-Mánn was really great und pro-fessionãl

I S'pose I could/should, Shut my mouth & Open my ears... MORE Please forgive me ya'll

[@pbrstreetgang2489]

In 2016 they wouldn't let me take pictures in Fort Peck...

[@DavidHuber63]

Maybe they can hire an actual guide next time rather than a practicing comedian
