User / dennis.gallus / Abandoned truck in “pogonip” weather
2,028 items
Near Fallon, Nevada, December 27, 1985. Copy of Kodachrome 64 slide. The set of the fenders on the body and the sockets of headlamps, plus the dome over the radiator, suggest that it might be a late 1940’s International truck
We had a temperature inversion, and clouds of fog descended to ground level, where the temperature was below freezing. The result was "pogonip", a Native American word for frozen fog, which brought the "white death", pneumonia, to Native Americans.
For more images of “pogonip”, see the adjoining pictures in my photostream.

Happy Truck Thursday.
