Yerington Nevada conjures apprehension: fleeting arbitrary proud violent evasive and settled. The considered Lyon County Museum, the suspended Masini Ranch, the abandoned Sage Crest Drive-In, stark East Walker River Road, the Anaconda Copper Mine Superfund site, and saving Jesus. The Paiute holy man Wovoka was born and is buried in this region. Photographs Douglas Beauchamp October 2017.
