“Somewhere south of Reno.”

Along with towns named: Puckerbrush, Gabbs, Scotty's Junction, Blackjack, Carp and Duckwater. Or how about Fatty Martin Lake, Toe Jam Mountain and Winnemucca, Stagecoach, Steamboat, Lovelock, Deeth (rhymes with teeth), Jarbidge (supposedly "devil" in Shoshone,) Tunnel, Sulphur, Pinenut, Slim Creek and Adverse. And dont forget the old mining town known as Dinner Table – or Adaven.

Fun reading from Oddly named towns hark back to Nevada's colorful past
