Last time I went over Hoover Dam (several months ago, but I doubt the security measures have lightened up any) they were not allowing any trucks, busses, RV's, campers, etc. Pick-ups were searched. They will have signs "passenger cars only" well in advance if this is the case. You have to go thru Laughlin/Searchlight. (Only adds about 20 minutes, and shorter if the traffic over the Dam is backed up). In case this makes a difference in your route decisions.

FYI
The
cache "Dam Railroad" GC1496 is an easy cache on the way to LV. Doesn't
take to long to do. It's just west of the dam prior to Boulder City.
When I did it, there seem to be a lot of Travel Bugs in and out of it, so it
won't get stuck there.

I would be glad to help move your TB along. I am not sure
how many, or even if, I can get any caches on my way to Las Vegas. But, I do
hope to get some. There appear to be about 7 of them near enough the route I
am taking that I think I can jump out and go look for some. I have to study
them a little more. But, I would be happy to get it closer to it's
destination for you. I might even be able to put it in a Las Vegas cache. If
not though, certainly close to Vegas. Like NW of Kingman somewhere. Let me
know what you are thinking and I will be glad to get it to it's destination!
:) Where did this TB start? Has it been out for a long time now? I have
never been able to complete a TB's route. It would be fun to be the one to
put it in a cache at it's final destination!
Greetings
Scott,
Thought I might either put Sophia on US 93 or on
I-40.
Just need away to get Sophia a little closer to Vegas.
