About

Stretching from Lovelock to Fallon, is a barren stretch of waterless alkali wasteland. It was the most dreaded section of the California Emigrant Trail. If possible, it was traveled by night because of the great heat.

Starvation for men and animals stalked every mile. A survey made in 1850 showed these appalling statistics - 1,061 dead mules, almost 5,000 horses, 3,750 cattle and 953 graves.

40 Mile Saloon was named in honor of these brave, pioneering souls and with the intent of quenching the type of terrible thirst they must have endured.
