Nevada's Basin and Range Region



Waking up to our first morning view in the spectacular Nevada Basin and Range Region. Dodged an incoming snowstorm in the mountain passes by a few hours. Looks like we will be dodging those snowstorms still for the next couple days. Challenging west coast weather this season!

In Winnemucca, noticed this interesting welcome sign marking the entry point for the historic Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. This marker includes a piece of the largest Redwood driftwood ever collected (gathered on the coast near Crescent City, CA). The tree was 1,477 years old.
