Very tight quarters here in the surrounding neighborhood. I parked took some pictures and moved on. This was the last virtual discovery for me on this day of travel easterly along highway 50. Thanks for bringing me here.
24-Jan-17
On a nine day loop from New Orleans down to Key West and up to Atlanta. Had a great time exploring and discovering many natural and historical locations along the way.
My first visit to the Magic Kingdom...I have been to the original Disneyland too many times to count. Had a great time here today. Had to wait out several stage shows before finally gaining access to GZ and getting a picture. Thanks for the virtual cache.

Have had this cache on my dream list for a while now. Been trying to find all of the "older ones" still out in the wild. Took a few minutes to zero in, but eventually made the grab. There was a lot of traffic at this intersection today. Thanks for keeping this one alive!!

Wheeler Peak is not the highest point in Nevada...That prize goes to Boundary Peak near hwy 6 west of Tonopah (North end of White mtns) But, who is keeping track of such things?

Location:Esmeralda County

MILLERS
As a result of mining excitement at Tonopah in 1901, and subsequent construction of the Tonopah and Goldfield railroad, Millers was founded in 1904 as a station and watering stop on that line. The name honored Charles R. Miller, a director of the railroad and former governor of Delaware. He was also vice-president of the Tonopah mining company and was instrumental in having their 100-stamp cyanide mill built here in 1906. In 1907, the town boomed with the construction of the T. & G. RR's repair shops and another large mill the population grew to 274 in 1910. The town then boasting a business district and post office. By 1911, the railroad shops and a mill had been moved away, and Millers began to decline. It was abandoned in 1947 when the railroad went out of business.
