The sky – and rain/snow falling – was the star of the show yesterday afternoon.
One band was just leaving the water trough at the basin’s main/original water catchment, followed by another band. The aprons are visible at right (looks like a tennis court – those are the aprons that catch rain/snow). They deliver water via underground pipe to the big, green tank (slightly right of center). It doesn’t look that big from this distance, but it can hold 12,000 gallons. The dark “spot” in just about the center is a couple of horses drinking at the trough.
This very wide view from Chrome’s Point in the far western part of the basin encompasses the northeastern (far left), eastern and southeastern views of Spring Creek Basin. (The first two pix are within this wide view.)
Too bad that downpour wasn’t over the basin!
Over us or not, it was a pretty glorious view!
