Big River

The Humboldt - In Flood


From Winnemucca Mountain, looking upstream, from about Reinhart Lane to Button Point.

Bloody Run Hills


Some times I wonder how this range came by the name "Bloody Run Hills". Not too many places you'll find such a nice view on the way to the local dump. Infrastructure!

Extra Water


The Humboldt is at flood stage, the highest the water has been in 20 years. The folks are a bit on edge as the stuff starts to creep into town. At this point nothing is threatened and the predictors think we're near the peak. This shot was taken just minutes before the highway department closed down Reinhart Lane because there is too much water running over it to allow traffic continue.
