Middle Of The Winnemucca Road

Here is the yellow line approximately in the middle of the road north of Winnemucca. The terrain in this area is high desert, very dry, with many steep up and down grades - some as steep as 8 percent, which is about as steep as a general use highway can be; one particular downgrade in southern Oregon, down the side of a mountain, had a 3,000 foot down overlook at the top of the grade - with no guardrail.

If you look very carefully in the haze at the end of the yellow line, you may be able to see Medford, Oregon 300 miles in the distance.
