Nelson Ghost Town | Jordan May
I love finding hidden gems off the beaten path. Leaving Arizona heading north into Nevada, I met a gentleman by the name of Al. I had stopped to grab some fuel and snacks at one of the numerous truck stops throughout the southwest. Al was trucking his way across the US via Route 66 hauling a load of timber from Wisconsin to Salt Lake City. Doing a quick mental mapping in my head, I wondered what steered him so far south from what would most definitely be a northerly route across the states. Al was heading for Arizona to visit his daughter. She was graduating from high school and he didn’t want to miss the chance to spend time with her during spring break. As we continued chatting over a pair of Subway sandwiches, Al proceeded to share a few of his trucking stories. He shared two very interesting bits of his life with me, one that would lead me into Nelson, Nevada. The other left me very nervous of my company……
