RSS US-95
Filed in Nevada 2006US-95 is long and for the most part straight, going through the starker kind of sagebrush desert of which there is so very much. I find a kind of raw beauty in it, though it was quite cold to begin with and the sunlight was blinding. I rode one-handed for a while, allowing myself a better view.
Many ghost towns lead off from this road. Some are dirt, some are paved. Candelaria was paved, and I set off up the road, but I had such an overwhelmingly bad vibe from the place that I turned around within a few hundred yards. Either something very bad happened there, or something bad was going to happen to me–or both.
It was a mine that had been re-opened to get more stuff out; the marker information was missing, so I’m not sure what it was about.
The marker here (below) proclaimed that “in the hills yonder” could still be seen the remains of a once-elegant mansion house and town.
