Truck stop!

Oasis, Dayton Nevada

Tin Cactus

While here in the East we marvel at our Fall color…I ventured West for a shot of reality, dry air, great Mexican food, and the big desert.  Nevada might be one of my most favorite strange and courageous places to spend time.  It is a no nonsense state!

Best Ever Mexican Food!

I kid you not, this place is worth a plane ride!   My daughter and I drove many miles, twice in five days, just to lay on a pound or two.  Virginia City is a must!

One of Many Road Side Memorials

I have a passion for obits and for memorials of all kinds.  For me, it is nearly impossible not to stop  the car, maybe say a silent prayer.  This memorial sits off the side of a narrow road, atop a hill.  Sagebrush and desert surround it.

Still Water Range...Fallon Nevada

Early Evening's Full Moon

The Trinity of Metal Grain Storage

This whole wonderful adventure could not have been possible without the grace of my daughter Andrea who lives smack dab in the middle of  country, down a dirt road, her house is surrounded by big old cotton wood trees and barbed wire fences, fields of corn, waiting to be cut, are tall and a faded yellow out her front door.  Andy and her dog Katie took me on the best ever five day spell of Western magic!
