Weird Stories from the Lonesome Cafe
Weird Stories from the Lonesome Cafe
by Judy Cox, Diane Kidd (Illustrator)
Ten-year-old Sam is spending the summer in the middle of Nevada, working at the remote Lonesome Cafe. And the help wanted sign in the window brings some very strange visitors-Bigfoot, Elvis, a jolly fat man from the North Pole, and a young girl and her dog who blow in on a tornado from Kansas.
 
Traveling America's Loneliest Road: A Geologic and Natural History Tour through Nevada along U.S. Highway 50
Traveling America's Loneliest Road: A Geologic and Natural History Tour through Nevada along U.S. Highway 50
by Joseph V. Tingley, et al
Highway 50 crosses the heart of Nevada. It follows sections of trail first marked by John C. Fremont in 1845-1846 and early government surveyors in 1859. Pony Express riders raced over parts of the route in 1860, and the Lincoln Highway, the nation's first transcontinental highway, came this way in 1913.
