I REMEMBER DRIVING FROM LOS ANGELES TO NEVADA BACK IN 1972 IN A BRAND NEW MONTE CARLO HERTZ RENT-A CAR. I TOOK OLD HIGHWAY 91 AS MUCH AS I COULD INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN I GOT TO STATELINE NEVADA THERE WAS THE TOWER CLUB CASINO AND WHAT IS NOW WHISKEY PETES. ALONG THE WAY I STOPPED AT POP'S OASIS ( BONNIE & CLYDE CAR) ...WHO WAS ALSO OWNED BY DALE HAMILTON WHO OWNED MUCH OF THE AREA FROM LAS VEGAS TO STATELINE (PRIMM) NEVADA. I REMEMBER A TINY TOWN OF SLOAN NEVADA, POPULATION OF 20? .... THEY HAD A BAR, CAFE, 5 SLOTS, GAS, 5 OR 6 TINY MOTEL ROOM COTTAGES ... ALL IN DISREPAIR. I HAD A COLD BEER AND TALKED TO DALE HAMILTON ABOUT HIS DESERT ENDEVORS ... HE WAS QUITE A PROMOTER ... NICE GUY AND HAD A BIG EGO AS WELL. A BIG FISH IN A SMALL POOL I GUESS? I WENT AROUND THE BACK OF THE PLACE ... AND OUT IN THE DISTANCE WAS AN OLD GM SCENICRUSIER GREYHOUND BUS, JUST SITTING THERE IN THE SUN. HE HAD A BUNCH OF OLD JUNK CARS THAT IF IT WERE TODAY .... WOULD BRING GOOD MONEY. A MOVIE COMPANY CAME TO SLOAN TO FILM 3000 MILES FROM MEMPHIS. THEY PAINTED THE BUILDINGS AND MADE IT LOOK OPERATIONAL ETC. AFTER FILMING THEY BULLDOZED THE TOWN AND CLEARED THE LAND AND JUNKED ALL THE VEHICLES AS WELL! .... ANOTHER PART OF OLD NEVADA GONE! ...I WAS ABLE TO GET A BOOK OF MATCHES FROM THIS FORGOTTEN HOLE ON THE OLD HIGHWAY. YOUR STORIES AND COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOMED! .... THANKS FOR READING MY POST ....
