Photograph #035 Far Off Rain
July 4th, 2010
By mid-July, this land will be sere and brown
That’s Immigrant Gap off yonder, and beyond is Independence Rock
This year has been unusually wet, almost six inches of rain the last three months. It won’t last. And if you’re on the Immigrant Trail (as the Oregon Trail was known, then), you’re almost too late. You must make it to Independence Rock by the 4th, to have enough time to comfortably get to California or Oregon before the snow flies. It’s forty or so dry miles from here to the Rock.
I wish you could see this at its full size of about 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall. The web simply won’t let me show the vastness as it really is.
