Mason Valley, Nevada – Winter 2024
This is an angle of the Anaconda Pit in Yerington, Nevada that we rarely get to see. Taurus Massey (who works on the site) took this shot FROM the east side of the pit with Weed Heights and the Singatse Mountain Range in the background left. The next photo was the scene through Richard Massey’s lense. Thank you to this local father & son duo for sharing!
