Circus Circus' house kennel channel, w/ the Cure playing. no kidding. Austin, NV. Serbian Christmas, now you know. basin and range river of shoes
a little something for everyone in Fallon trash or treasure was here hauling a warp and weft of sheetrock across the Paiute rez petroglyphs at Hickison Summit. lava caves at Pyramid Lake (w/ flycatcher nest).
there's a big cottonwood growing out of an arroyo (dry 2 weeks ago) off the north side of hwy 50. it's one of those trees where everyone chucks their shoes up to snag and hang in the branches, but much more than I've ever seen anywhere. so much that a couple of the bigger limbs have broken off under the weight so they're all over underneath, around the base of the tree too.
I vote trash
ReplyDeleteTree of shoes and dunes and everything in between. What a drive.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to know more about the river of shoes.
ReplyDeleteJess - hooray. that makes 3 hands raised.
ReplyDeleteAsh - yes, the dune was really something, out there on its own.
dirtbikes : big lonely dunes
flies : fresh meringue
TR - well, you see, every spring, when all the snowshoes in the mountains start melting,...
(I'm sorry. that was terrible.)
awesome. i'm psyched for a road trip to come visit next year.
ReplyDeletehow did you come upon the river of shoes? I mean, I get the spring runnoff and all, but to find such a gem?
