If I should ever take up trucking and head West, I’m sure I will remember that Puckerbrush, NV has a truck stop... ;-)
However, being curious, I looked it up. Seems it’s about 100 miles West on I 80 from the exit I would need to take if I were to visit my Father’s birthplace. Assuming, of course that out there in NV the exit numbers correspond to mileage...
The aerial view looks the same in both places - kinda dryish looking... ;-)
There’s some part of long-haul trucking that’s always appealed to me. Maybe it’s driving something big (when I was young I wanted to be a pilot of the biggest plane in the sky) or just looking at America roll by.
I love Nevada and have traveled all around the state, though not in recent history. I love the Sierras, but they have snow... So I’m in the desert, and the mountains around Hoover Dam remind me of Mordor.
But I was born in Washoe County (Sparks) and this is probably where I will end my life. MANY years from now!
