Lankford also poured his finely honed skills into the creation of Thunder River, a huge representation (3.5 x 1.3 meters) of small-town life in the Colorado mountains during the 1920s. This deliciously humorous piece occupies a prominent spot in the museum.
Lankford 還有一項大型作品「雷河小鎮」，這件長三．五公尺、寬一．三公尺的作品，以嫻熟的造景技巧和幽默的創作手法，鮮活地呈現二○年代美國科羅拉多州的山區小鎮。
