More traffic than usual because of a huge wildfire (part of the scar from which is visible in the background). There were lots of firefighting vehicles about. Looking north.

Looking east. Austin counted more than 10,000 people in its heyday, during the silver rush of the 1860s. Current population is less than 200. Some turquoise is still mined locally, and there was an abortive attempt a few years back to make it a mountain bike destination.

In a late-season storm. (Memorial Day weekend!) That's US 50/The Lincoln Highway running diagonally to the upper left. We're looking more or less northwest.
