10.8 - Well, I'll Be Dammed!
The Boulder Canyon Project Act was passed into Congress in 1928 under President Calvin Coolidge and negotiations for the project began the following year by Herbert Hoover. The Boulder Dam, which distributed water from the Colorado river to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and California, was completed in 1935, and was later renamed the Hoover Dam.

Read a book set at least 50% in one of these U.S. states: Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, California.
Required: REQUIRED: If the setting is not clear from the GR description or the metadata, state the setting and provide a reference.

It would have to be set at least 50% in Utah. Unless the flyover location is indicated "en route" doesn't work

Thanks for the response -- I'll just have to read it to see how much is set in the air and how much is set on land. :)

"Sheriff Walt Longmire of Absaroka County, Wyoming, is invited by Cheyenne Tribal Police Chief Lolo Long to Montana to turn detective."
