EXPLANATION: HUMBOLDT SINK =>
…The Humboldt Sink, is where, because there is no outlet, the Humboldt River comes to an end, and dries up in Nevada’s Fierce Summer Heat,…
….. When Henry Gurr came this way in ~1968, and was astonished because suddenly by the highway, in the middle of this awful awesome desert, was this great expanse of green between abundant water channels!!
…And Henry remembering all this, wanted to see it again!! …. But, no matter how far we drove along I-80, by the areas shown on map labeled “Humboldt Sink”, there was NO GREEN!!! In fact, Henry Was shocked to see just dry, dry, dry, flat-pan. with no dried-up vegetation, or dead trees, to indicate there had ever been any water here!!
..In fact we sent so much attention to searching, Henry forgot to take any photos!!
Thus, The Next Scenes Are Shown, And Explained, In Forthcoming 3 Google Street Views.
