Nevada/California

I had to attend a conference in Las Vegas at the beginning of April. Deandra was generous enough to allow me to spend a couple of extra days just driving around. On Sunday, April 6, I left Las Vegas (with a quick drive up the Strip) and drove 550 miles to Reno. I didn't really have a destination in mind; the only goal was to be in driving distance of Death Valley on Monday.

You drive for miles through the desert without seeing any signs of people, and then you come across these tiny little towns. I cannot figure out what the residents do for a living, or why they would choose to live there.
