Seeking the T&G

It took us a fair bit longer to get packed out of the hotel room in Tonopah today, and indeed, we just barely made the 11 AM check-out time. Leaving Tonopah took even longer because the ROL card-lock gas pumps (off the main road) weren't working. That's a shame because they were 20 cents/gallon cheaper than the ones on Main Street.

We took a long time getting home: nearly eight hours. That's because we spent the day looking for remnants of the Tonopah & Goldfield Railroad, which connected Goldfield and Tonopah to Mina, Nevada, where it connected to the Southern Pacific (Carson & Colorado) Railroad.

I'm not going to share any more of the photos tonight because we got home after sunset and I'm really worn out. Indeed, I'm going to try and take most of Monday off if I can. I should have scheduled that in advance. It's a lot harder for me to recover from these trips than it was twenty years ago.
