The Travelin' Librarian

Cheryl from the NV State Library has some photos from her back yard of the Carson City fire.

Hello from the Nevada State Library and Archives in Carson City, NV. Right now, all of my students are writing their first blog post.

A photoset is up in my Flickr account. I’ll add more this evening as the situation allows.

I spent the day cruising around Lake Tahoe but I returned to my hotel in Carson City, NV to this:

“East of Carson City, two brush fires each estimated to cover 500 acres were burning in the Mound House area, where Lyon County sheriff’s deputies closed part of U.S. Highway 50 and were asking residents in leave some neighborhoods. About 250 firefighters were on the scene.”

Not to make anyone nervous or anything but I can see the flames from my hotel parking lot. (Pics soon)
