Window seat over the Humboldt Sink, Nevada
Coming back from Serbia and across the USA from New York, my window seat view below was of the Humboldt Sink. My trip but a few hours. However, my great great grandfather spent months in 1852 on his trek to California and a new life. Yet he never arrived, he perished somewhere in Nevada on the California Trail during that vast migration that many did not survive. Yet his family continued onward, to California, and just over one hundred years later, I was born there. Sixty years later I flew over their journey of what was many months of toil but for me just a few short hours in comfort, effortlessly.
