Lake Mead Water Level Lowering, Finds Growing

Lake Mead is a reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River in the Southwestern United States. It is located in the states of Nevada and Arizona, 24 mi east of Las Vegas. It is the largest reservoir in the US in terms of water capacity. Wikipedia

Possibly the biggest news this year is the water levels at Lake Mead.  So many ships and other items are showing up. Here is a collection of just a touch of these finds.

Deserted Marineland Video

 This video of the deserted Marineland was recently posted to YouTube.  It provides a ton of detail on the abandoned theme park.  The best part is that the Sky Tower is still there.  It's very difficult to find photos or video of the Tower.

The video will not display on this site, but trust me, it's great!
