Hands down, IMO your best work.
I've driven past that exit... many times.
Thank you, I know it's history.

@@mountainmover9141 I found this one so much more interesting than I thought I would. I had no idea until I started researching it. I wish I could put everything in all the videos but they would be too long (and apparently no one other than myself will watch a documentary over 10 minutes lol)

[@gerrya4897]

Very Interesting!

[@mapadventures]

It’s crazy how we have no idea about a place. I’m glad you liked it 💜

[@rccalhoun]

great swimming hole right there.......especially since lake tahoenow holds back flow to stay 100% full.

In the "Donner pass" RR book, there's a quote saying that you could tell what type of tissue was being produced by the color of the river.

[@mapadventures]

Sadly it’s true. The pollution of the Truckee River at that time, was at epic proportions.

Living in Verdi I have been by there many times. I never saw the town. The history is very interesting.

[@mapadventures]

@@MartinMike-po3fb There isn’t much of a town left. I-80 took out where the plant used to be and many of the buildings. Many of the old company houses are still there mixed in with some more modern ones.
