Travel trivia: The Hoover Dam by any other name
What was the Hoover Dam formerly called?
- Boulder Dam
- Colorado Dam
- Grand Coulee Dam
- Kaiser Dam
Think you know the answer? Send it to me as a comment at the bottom of this post (one answer per contestant, please!). At the end of the week, I’ll draw one name from among all the people who answered correctly, and that person will receive this week’s prize: a 17cm x 12cm (7″ x 4.5″) notebook and pen from Parks Canada.
Come back to Facing the Street tomorrow for another travel trivia question and another chance to win the notebook. And if you can’t wait until then for your trivia fix, check out my husband Paul’s trivia site, TriviaHallOfFame.com. (He provided this question, BTW.)
This contest closes at 5:00pm EST on Friday, January 28, 2011.

Disclosure and information on prize donor: The notebook was provided by Parks Canada, the federal agency that runs Canada’s national parks. This year marks the 125th anniversary of Canada’s national parks.
