Westgate Well

From Fernly west via Hwy 50, the loneliest highway... great weather and a lot of wide open spaces. Lunched at the International Cafe in Austin, Nv; which is almost on the verge of becoming a ghost time. Typical late 1800's mining town that had a high population of 10,000 and as of 2010 had 194. Boy and as of 2021, I'm guessing that number is smaller. The cafe had only one employee, hostesses, waitress, cook, and busboy in one. I think she was the owner!
Drove thru Eureka, the only other town on 50. This town actually looked like it was still surviving, but still pretty small.
Ended the day at Major Station; a little bar, restaurant and RV Park. Hmmmm not sure it offered much in services, no restrooms, no showers, no wi-fi and no cell service. But they were right over the crest of Conner Pass (7,749 ft) and had a really nice view of the valley below and the snow covered mountains beyond. Plus there were very cute goats to say hello to!Read more
