    There was an event very similar to The Hope Slide that ocurred along hwy 395 between Carson City and Reno, Nevada, also in the 60's I believe. Don't have any figures on the size, but by the look of your photos it was probably in the same range. There's about 3/4 of a mile between the highway and the base of the mountain at that point. The slide covered the highway with about 10 feet of earth for about 400 feet.

    So far I have pumped up to pressure over 160 tires and changed the tires on 11 rims...We have had nice weather to up at the back getting this done...I have also been working with my new camera and lens trying to get used to it and how it all performs...It is a Canon T1i and I have put on a Sigma 10-20 lens...There is a lot of different setting's and the trick is to get to all the ways to set them and what the results are...That is what these back yard pictures are the results of playing around with it...
