I don't have the coordinates, but may be able to get them from the archives at the National Atomic Testing Museum. I think I still have a photo of the way station. I miss the days when one could roam the canyons of Nevada and find remnants of the old days. When I came to Nevada in 1964 we lived at Beatty. I had a 1942 Ford military jeep that the family would spend the weekends just roaming. Back then one could find an old mining camp where the cooking utensils were still in the dugout, shotguns leaning inside the mine portal, etc. Nothing had been disturbed since the miners pulled out or got killed by snakebite or Indians. We knew where the mountain lions hung with their young. Those were some fun days.
