Made famous to me by a Little Feat song, 'Willin', that takes me back to my teens. Another boom and bust mining town in Nevada which had more success for a few than many others did. The legacy is the Mizpah saloon still on the main route plus the mining park to the rear of the town. At the feet of the old workings are the remnant shacks of the original town and its miners. Now it is more known as a halfway house between the gambling mecca's of Las Vegas and Reno plus of course the nuclear testing range on its doorstep.
