Very near the highway (note passing car, to give you
an idea of how close the site is to the road) is what appears to be the
Lahontan dump. Many, many cans in a variety of shapes and sizes. I have
no idea why I find this kind of thing exciting.

City occupied highlighted. Dam is visible towards bottom of photo. The
two almost parallel lines running diagonally are U.S. 50 and the railroad
tracks.
