The exclamation point isn't officially part of the town's name, but it sure seems appropriate. Eureka is one of Nevada's early mining towns. It burned down twice. After, the second conflagration, the citizens turned to brick to rebuild. Of the towns that I've driven through on the Lonliest Highway, it is by far the most charming. I had a nice breakfast at the Owl Cafe and went in a few of the historic buildings: the courthouse, the city hall, and the town museum, which was in the old newspaper office.
