|
Jim and I had our second adventure at the Hallelujah Junction close to Reno, Nevada this past weekend. Paul Geffner, and his crew, were very generous in their invitation to dig. We also had Beth and Barry Kitt as well as Wendy and Ray McCormick. ( The Kitt's had us all stay with them and they arranged this trip. )
It was a hot day up on the mountain, but we dug the whole time.

...Some shots might be through a buggy windshield as Jack drove us up. And the car was going all over the place, but still got some decent photos.
