    • Landing on the Loneliest Road - Middlegate Station, NV

      Landing on the Loneliest Road - Middlegate Station, NV

      A visit to Middlegate Station in Nevada. Located along US 50, the "Loneliest Road in America", the station serves as a resource for food, gas, and lodging for travelers. Pilots have frequented this destination for a number of years, using the old alignment of US 50 as their runway.

      Middlegate traces its history back to the Pony Express era where it served as a horse change-over location for the express riders. After the demise of the Pony Express to the telegraph, the station served as a stage coach and freight depot for the local mining districts. With the declaration of the Lincoln Highway (now US 50) in the early 20th century, it continued as a road-side resource. A period of dormancy following the building of I-80 was ended when new owners took over the property in recent decades and re-opened the station as a restaurant, gas, and lodging location. The food is excellent, the decor on-point, and the location surreal. Go check it out!

    • Middle Gate Station - Historic Oasis On The Lonlilest Road In America

      Middle Gate Station - Historic Oasis On The Lonlilest Road In America

      Middlegate Station was originally a camping area for James Simpson who was hired by the government to survey a route through Nevada and the frontier. Simpson called the cuts through the mountains gates in 1850. By 1860 near where the Middle Gate is located a Pony Express Station was built although short lived the Overland Stage & Freight Company used it after for those journeying to other boom towns during the Silver and Gold Rush. Travelers could rest their head perhaps get a hot meal then be on their way to other towns such as La Plata, Wonder, Fairview, Stillwater, Tonopah etc etc. When the automobile came to be in the early 1900's the need for such a stage station became obsolete thus it remains abandoned till the 1940's leaving this historic station in peril because the ranchers were dismantling its walls for the Zeolite stones. When it was restored in 1942 it became a cafe, gas station and bar for those traveling the Lincoln Highway the loneliest road in America. Once again it became abandoned and was purchased as well as restored a second time by the Stevenson family in 1984 which today serves as an oasis for those on the road who need a room for the night, ice cold beer or a hot meal. Known for its Monster Burger Middlegate has been featured in books, movies and is well visited by quite a few celebrities including Hank Williams Jr. and Stephen King who wrote his novel desperation while temporarily living in Middlegate. I hope that this tour can bring in more tourism so we can help keep Middlegate Station open for years to come and preserve all the wonderful artifacts which can be found both inside and outside the grounds surrounding this historic landmark. Not many Pony Express or Overland Stations remain especially one that you can physically drink a beer at therefore this truly is a wonderful piece of American Wild Western History!

      Historic Wendover Utah/Nevada - Airfield Museum
      The desert oasis of Wendover may be best known today for land speed records attempted on the nearby Bonneville Salt Flats, but this state-straddling community first used this world-renowned, otherworldly landscape as a top-secret military training site during World War II. This remote desert landscape was a specialized training base for B-17 and B-24 bomber crews, including the 509th Composite Group and B-29 Enola Gay unit who carried the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today, military history lovers will discover a nearly complete historic Wendover Air Force Base-turned-Historic Wendover Airfield Museum Plus the victory highway - Lincoln Highway and more
