Fly Geyser

This one came out pretty clear even with the steam. I am not sure how hot the water is but I was told someone’s dog jumped in and the owner tried to jump in and save him and died. Not very smart. I know my shoes were getting warm just standing in about an inch of water. Geysers are located by Gerlach, Nv.

The geyser was created accidentally in 1964, after a geothermal power company drilled a test well at the site. While the groundwater in the region turned out not to be sufficiently hot to be tapped for geothermal power, it did have a temperature of more than 200 degrees.

Tahoe Queen

The Tahoe Queen’s Paddle Wheel shot by metaphor91 as it pulls away from the dock.

The Tahoe Queen was assembled in South Lake Tahoe’s Tahoe Keys Marina and launched in the late summer of 1983. During her 25 years cruising Lake Tahoe, it’s estimated she has logged over 250,000 nautical miles in about 100,000 operational hours. As a reward for her hard work over the last quarter decade, the Tahoe Queen has recently been remodeled inside and out.  Aside from the amazing upgrades, Her Majesty now offers upgraded food and a theatric experience as employees adorn period attire to keep the magic alive.

For over 20 years, Montana sculptor Deborah Butterfield has transformed scrap metal, discarded wood, and bronze into larger-than-life sculptures of the horse that are breathtakingly beautiful and captivating to encounter.
