… a livestock ramp with Castleton Tower on the horizon.
Castle Valley …
black and white
degradation …
each spring in my trips west I park behind this single-wide by a derelict gas station to camp overnight in equally derelict Table Rock, Wyoming … and each year, more graffiti greets me when I arrive …
lit up …
faster, faster …
… to beat the storm to the Border Inn … where a beer awaits me.
shuttered, sadly …
the old general store in Eureka, Nevada …
emptiness …
bad skies over badlands …
… in Badlands National Park in South Dakota.
miles and miles …
… past a hovel along the Wilkins-Montello Road in northeastern Nevada.
sometimes …
… it rains in the desert in western Utah.
aspen morning …
… at 8,000 feet in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Wyoming.
the Great Basin Desert …
… and in the distance, Great Basin National Park.
once upon a time …
… I stood atop Devil’s Tower.
a little TLC …
… and I’ll move right in … in Cisco, Utah.
oops …
… this dry lake bed wasn’t quite dry.
the white wagon …
… made of metal in desert in northern Nevada.
‘custom home site’ …
… south of Battle Mountain, Nevada.
no bars here …
… in the Nevada outback off Route 305.
shelter in the outback …
… an old outbuilding on the Winecup ranch along the Wilkins-Montello Road in northeastern Nevada.
labor’s end …
… for an old pump that once nudged water out of a dry lake bed into a cattle stock tank in western Nevada.
high winds …
… of more than 60 mph drove dust from this dry lake bed hundreds of feet upward.
rupture …
… instead of rapture in an aspen grove at 7,500 feet in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
