As
the world emerged from the last ice age some 13,000 years ago, a vast
body of water, centered on the remote Carson Sink, covered much of
Nevada. This is the story of an expedition to explore the evidence left
by the receding lake (known as Lake Lahontan), and the people who have
lived around its former shores since the earliest human settlements in
America.
The extensively researched
Land Rover 4WD expedition brings history
to life from the ice age to the present, giving visitors to Nevada a
whole new perspective on the
state’s past. It explores and documents
many fascinating geological, archaeological and historical remains,
visiting many little known and very remote sites and discovering some
new ones. It enables us to relive the experience of dwelling around the
remote shores of the
lake, far from modern highways
and cities.
The video is available in DVD format, with a 60 minute main
feature plus an additional 5 minute sequence of stills from the
expedition and outtakes. It comes in a standard plastic DVD case
with a
printed sleeve including most of the photos reproduced on this page,
plus an insert detailing the history of the ice ages and Lake
Lahontan. Cast: Joe Maulhardt,
Sally
Molenhouse, Lynn Helm,
Marvin Mattson, Jay Finklestein, David Clinnick, John Brabyn.
