About 1:00 PM, I left Carson City along US-50. The first site to attract my attention was Fort Churchill a few miles off the main highway. Nevada never had the heavy military presence common to other Western states, but during the decade of the 1860s, this outpost was the army's main base in, at first, the territory, then the state. Not much is left. Just a few exposed, Adobe walls. I walked the main trail, then drove down to a picnic area to get a glimpse of the Carson River picnic before leaving the isolated park.
