Bring It, Governor Gibbons
After the salt flats at the edge of Utah, we were pretty much in a high-tail it home mode, but not so much so that we couldn’t stick a bit to the plans. Instead of taking 80 across Nevada, we opted for the southerly US Route 50, dubbed by Life Magazine as the loneliest road in America, though it turned out to be not that lonely. After a night in the still-settled Ely, we headed out. Here’s Mike in Eureka, an amazing town noted in guide books, as ’semi-ghost’ which I bet the current residents would find amusing.
The building above, like many many others still standing in towns along US 50, dates from 1880. Due to the speed of construction of old mining-related towns, and the fact that the money might run out at any time, most buildings shoddy wood constructions, and burned down like every two years or so. But there was enough silver in Nevada to warrant the expense and effort of more permanent structures, and a lot of old stuff still remains. Why not in Deadwood and the Black Hills then, given the richness and depth of that gold strike? I’ll have to ask a mining scholar, or go back when the museum is actually open. Or I could just be totally wrong. Anyhow, between ghost towns, we took the Airstream down a very bumpy road to find another of my old-timey obsessions. A hot springs!
Not very impressive. I was not healed. Pretty though, and lavatastic! Happy teenagers gather here apparently. Other highlights of US 50 include a giant mountain of sand, and this amazing bar in Middlegate, where the owners drank with us into the night and invited me to stay and play horsies (that’s verbatim) on their ranch, an offer I had to decline with great sadness.
Our last stop on US 50 was at Lattin Farms outside of Fallon, which strangely enough provided the best farm/autumn/hayride/pumpkin experience of our whole Autumn tour. And a giant corn maze. In Nevada. Go figure.
Along they way we also completed a stamp-as-you-go itinerary courtesy of the Nevada Department of Tourism. A nicely designed “I survived the loneliest road in America” pamphlet that we can now mail in for a key chain and a certificate with the Governor’s signature! Thanks Nevada. Sorry we don’t gamble. Not many good pics of these facts, but the road we took, the current US 50, weaves around/follows both the original Lincoln Highway, and the Pony Express Route. Amazing. Here’s the ad they placed for riders in 1860:
“Wanted. Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over 18. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred.”
