Road to Winnemucca

 The road to Winnemucca is one of those next gas 100 miles don’t look over the edge into the canyon kind of roads. The road takes you from southern Oregon into Nevada initially on two lanes. When the highway finally widens to four lanes semis pulling three trailers rush past you on the down grades and you pass them again as they crawl up the next incline.

During the early stage of the Winnemucca drive, we encountered two herds of cows being drives toward us by cowboys and one cowgirl on horseback, You have to admit this is pretty unusual. The cowboys were friendly and wished us a good trip and we wished them a short drive so they could avoid the 100 degree temps.

I found it interesting that rest stops were fairly common along this desolate road. The accommodations were primitive and for our kids who always ask, “yes, they were pits”.

The ads for queso are attractive.
