Now I know. Even after Terry talked about it, I did not know. I guess a cool place to stop in the desert. This along Hwy 50 between Ely and Baker, near Rattlesnake Knoll. We want pictures… [we got pictures-at the end of the set]

Terry says:

I only wish I could tell about this place ….
But maybe Mr. G has a story … arrives kind of early on his Birthday … stays till 11:00 this morning … what was he up to? … will he tell ?

The area has a lot of mines, ranches, BLM, Wildlife, visitors. Like the Basin and Range deserts (Great Basin, Mojove, Sonoran, Navajo Lands, Chihuahua), the distances between towns with services (min is Post Office and Gas Station) is large, as just seen going across NV on Hwy 50..
These Roadhouses fill in as community centers for desert dwellers – the ranchers, miners, caregivers … and are as good a human institution as you will find. Major’s, Middlegate, Denio, Rachel. Someone should do a book on these, and include the Hot Springs!
