    Walrus run

    My family and I went to the Big Bend of the Colorado River Recreation area below Laughlin NV (about 1 1/2 hours out of Las Vegas).

    The beach is a finer sand and there are canopies you can get (first come, first served basis).

    The water is clear and the temperature of the water is nice and cool.
    So here is a video of the Walrus running there.

    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

            Thank you sir! I have to say, I like it there a lot. The water is cool, not freezing like it is closer to the dam. It is clear water and if Sam and I were not kicking up all the sand it would have been more evident. Even with what we did kick up it was still easy seeing the sub. I will go there again with another sub or two.

                Thank you Scott! The wonderful lady playing with the dogs is my wife, Tina. Those two puppies are our golden doodles Ada and Anne. The camera crew for the most part was Sam 9who turns 16 soon).
