Another mill site in the Seven Troughs Mining District at Tunnel Camp, Nevada.
An outhouse with the name, "Bullfrog" on it. It probably came from that mine site. Bills daughter, Debbie Trowsdale is posing with the relic.
Debbie Trowsdale is standing at a tufa formation, north of Lovelock. This type of rock formation is formed by springs bubbling up in prehistoric lake beds. The Humboldt River may have formed a lake here, before the white man came to divert its waters.
Upper & Lower Rochester,
northeast of Lovelock -
nothing but a site today.
