Some of these pictures are in locations that I could drive to in much less than an hour: the Washoe Paiute at Cottonwood Springs (pic 18), Pyramid Lake (second pic from the top), Carson Sink dunes (pic 12), Gold Hill (Virginia City, pic 13), and the good old Truckee River which flows right through town. One or two of those pics were taken in places where I am precisely certain where the camera was set up.

Those pics i listed above are basically my backyard, but I will say that the original photographer seemed to miss taking pictures of some of the more splendid vistas in the local area. I guess that he left that for Ansel Adams to photograph some 80 years later.

See my FR profile page to see what this area looks like today in color photography.

Thanks for the updated shots of the area. I did a little traveling around Vegas and Phoenix, back in the 80’s, and loved the scenery and breathtaking vista’s.
