Day Six

We got a fairly early start this morning and our first stop was at the Trinity rest area to stretch our legs a little.

It was a nice clean rest area with some plaques about the history and hazards of traveling the California Trail.

Vera took this picture as we were on the way to Fallon.  We stopped at the Fallon Safeway for a few supplies and ended up having lunch in their parking lot.

There is lots of scenery to look at as you travel down Hwy 95 towards Las Vegas.

I don't remember seeing this rock formation, I must have been paying attention to my driving when Vera took it.

At Hawthorne there is the largest ammunition depot in the world.  There are bunkers every where in this valley.

The area where this abandoned mill is did not look too prosperous.

There were lots of run down buildings and junk cars.  The one open business was a saloon playing Willie Nelson loud enough we could hear it in the rest stop.

This  is something we were not used to seeing!  Usually there were cattle guards across the highway where we saw them.  I was surprised how smooth the cattle guards were to drive over.

We stopped in Tonopah which is at 5824 feet for gas and decided to spend the night.  The RV Park had greeter rabbits running around the park.  They had good WiFi there so we spent the evening online catching up on emails and news.
