You guys have some great shots. Good pics that tell a story. Why do they call it Nevada?

You know a lot of about the big ships in the area. I saw a big ship unloading coal in southern Alaska. The conveyor was [about] a quarter mile long.

I call it 'home' but I believe the reference is to 'snow covered'.

Most of my pics, (so far) show the view to the east from my driveway.
There's a mountain in the way when I look to the west. (house marked by the red dot)

I'm surprised all these bucks get along so well. Must not be mating season.
