Tonight we are parked at a RV park in Hawthorne, Nv. home to the "Hawthorne Army Storage Depot". Coming into town from either the north or south you notice acres and acres of land covered with bunkers, half buried in the earth. What are in those bunkers, you can only imagine, but I guess it isn't chocolate chip cookies.
This barren land is full of "government land". The A bomb was tested within 200 miles of here. Nevada contains thousands of square miles of testing areas, bombing zones, and military bases. Tomorrow we will continue our drive south on Hwy 95 past these areas. As I drive by the test site, I will be sure to keep my windows rolled up.
