We are not certain that we found the same place that photo #1 [9342] was taken from, but photo #2 [9343] is not far from photo #1. The new Reed Creek road has changed the appearance of the Barley Patch.
Photo #1 is heacy sagebrush, while photo #2 is mainly grass with little sagebrush. Willows are lacking in photo #2, but, there are several young willow patches in the park." Compare to photo 9343.
