While we were staying in Elko, we took a drive out to Tuscarora, an almost ghost
town, again lots more dirt roads. On
the way we drove through a partially repaired section of road that only a few
days earlier had been washed out. The
water was still rushing off the fields and running down one side of the road, before
running under a cattle grid and onto the fields opposite, I took this
photograph on the way back.
Tuscarora Cemetery was the first thing we came to on
our way into town, inside we found the graves of a couple from Oldham,
Lancashire who’d come in search of gold.
Although Tuscarora has a Post Office and is classed as
a ghost town it isn’t really as quite a few people appear to live there.
Leaving Elko on our way to Ely we drove past another
Pony Express Station, Schelbourne Station, where there were informational
boards and this sculpture among the sage.
We also discovered that we were also driving part of
the old coast to coast Lincoln Highway, which stretched from Times Square in
New York, to San Francisco in California.
Have fun, we are!
