The Extraterrestrial Highway

We drove this road (aka Nevada SR 375) in the middle of the afternoon. I've heard that some people see strange lights here at night. They're also spooked by the road's proximity to Area 51 (just over the next ridge, I'm told). In any case, I counted many more cows than cars along this lonely stretch of highway.

The tiny town of Rachel has made the most of its location. It has one business, the Little A'Le' Inn (get it?). We had fun shopping for alien-themed swag during our stop here.
