FGES Tour #20: West Wendover, Nevada

 


As you approach the eastern border of Nevada 
on Interstate 80 in Utah, you pass through a small town called Wendover. As soon as you cross over the border into Nevada, you find yourself in the much larger town of West Wendover. Being Nevada, all sorts of sinful activities are encouraged, especially gambling.

"Wendover Will" welcomes travelers to West Wendover. I parked somewhat illegally in order to try to take a selfie with Will, but the lighting and the angle were not conducive to photographic pursuits, as you can see from my solo attempt...

I was somewhat startled when a man in a fire department pickup stopped next to my car and got out. I was worried I was in trouble for my choice of parking spots. No, he had seen me struggling and offered to take the photo for me. Nice firefighter.
