We escaped Winnemucca and Nevada in general - happy to say goodbye. The scenery for 80% of the day's drive was "high desert" - sage and sand at an altitude of around 4000 feet. Hundreds of miles of it. I love the subtle colours but we were thrilled to come across a marshland with Sandhill Cranes strolling amongst Canada Geese. Such unexpected long-legged birds. We also saw five pronghorn antelope which have been reintroduced in National Parks and preserves - another thrill. We're now back in Portland where we started this holiday and it is pouring rain and apparently will for the two days we are staying here. See February blog entries for pictures!
