I think the image would view better if
pushed back behind the stereo window a little.

Subject: [Anaglyphs] Windmill Tree
Descending on I-80 between Donner Pass and Truckee, CA, you can look across
Donner Lake to see Schallenberger Ridge. The odd-shaped but otherwise healthy
tree on the ridge has been shaped by the elements to resemble a windmill.
The ridge was named for Moses Schallenberger. Here?s some details about
him.
SCHALLENBERGER CABIN SITE \ Near this spot
stood a small cabin built by 18-year-old Moses Schallenberger and two other men.
They were members of the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy
Party of 1844, the first pioneers to
take wagons over the Sierra Nevada, opening the Truckee Route of the California
Trail. The three men had volunteered to remain behind and guard six of the
wagons left here by the main party. \ Due to extreme winter weather conditions
and lack of food, the three men agreed to separate. The two older men rejoined
the wagon party, but due to his weakened physical condition, Moses
Schallenberger chose to remain at the cabin. The young man survived for nearly
three months alone in the small cabin during the winter of 1844?45 before being
rescued. His cabin would later provide shelter for the Breen family, members of
the ill-fated Donner Party, who were stranded here in 1846?47. \ The courage and
resolution of Moses Schallenberger during his solitary winter ordeal in this
cabin makes him one of the true heroes in the saga of the California
Trail.
