Mormon Missionaries in Fallon Nevada
As highway 20 climbs into the Sierra Foothills It becomes a nicely paved highway that glides through the vales & vistas. A pleasant excursion indeed. You join interstate 80 at the Yuba Pass, climb up tothe Donner Pass and then you can almost coast all of the way to Reno. I finally made it to Fallon Nevada about 5:00 and pretty quickly spotted a pair of Mormon Missionaries.
It turned out that Fallon wasn't a good match for me. Perhaps I was reading it wrong but it seemed to me to be a well-spent town with a third-rate casino in its center draining what life might be left. Scattered about the town were 10 or 15 more strip mall casino/clubs picking up what dollar bills & quarters might be left. Two pawn shops seemed like too many for a town this size. but there is a Naval Air Base nearby. I suppose those are the paychecks that support the place.
