We had a great night's stay at the El Capitan Casino boondocking area. It helped that we won a fair chunk of change in the casino while we were there. I never asked any of the casino staff if it was okay to overnight in the lot. There were other trucks and campers there, and no one came to bother us.
Before we left Hawthorne I made sure to stop at the free museum in town! I always like to look around these museums when I get the chance. They are kinda starting to look the same, though. Mining is a prevalent theme in northern Nevada. Hawthorne has a large military base, so there was some of that stuff too.

| I love old bottles of medical stuff or cooking stuff. |

| This is a wash plant for gold prospectors. |

| Military stuff. Bombs and giant ass bullets and stuff. |
 |
| Vodka bottles. Wow, fancy. |
 |
| Tobacco tins. |
 |
| More bottles. I wish I could have gotten a closer look, but this was behind glass. |
After our outing we proceeded to Tonopah and are there now. I'd show you a picture of our boondock, but it's exactly the same as most of our boondocks, and in fact we were at this spot around the same time last year. It's scrub brush and mountains. We'll stay here until we need to dump and then continue the rest of the way down to Pahrump.
