Ione! I saw signs for it. Handpainted on plywood, I might add. I would have gone but my girlfriend at the time thought the dirt road looked too scary.

Ione has a bar, with a bartender from the old Red Dog in Virginia City, named Fly,, there are buffalo there also. A great little town. 10 people maybe. When we come down out of the hills we usually stop for a beer.

Ione? Now we're getting to towns I haven't heard of. When I was in high school I worked for a Bud distributership that actually did a semi-weekly run to Gabbs. What a way to make a buck. Humans are an endangered species in the black rock desert.

Did she see the movie "Desperation" by any chance?

The Black Rock Desert is endangered, not the swarms of humans that now flock to it since the inception of Burning Man, the great Zit upon the Desert.

StuckPA, Nevada is pretty darned empty. If you want loneliness you can find it two canyons south of Ione, or north.

That time I was at Berlin/Ichthy...however you spell it, I went to start my car. It wouldn't.

Panic sets in. I'm in the middle of nowhere! My car's broke! They'll find our bleached bones out here next May!

Then I realized: I was at 7000 feet, I did like I did at sea level, pumped the gas a few times to get it started...and with the lean air, I flooded the carburetor. So, I took the air cleaner off, let the excess gas evaporate, and after a few minutes, off we went.

"Burning man." I heard a lot about it, never had any desire to go. Odd, scrawny ladies with 17 tattoos and likely, 2 varieties of VD never appealed to me.

That's a large part of the reason I left the SF Bay area.

I agree completely.

Nevada is terrible. Mean people, violence, too much discrimination, horrible weather. Mostly the problem is the people though. Moving here was the biggest mistake my family has ever made.
