Places to stay in Tonopah

Built in 1907 and beautifully restored in 2011 the lobby of the Mizpah Hotel is a wonderful space decorated in rich maroon and natural wood with old west chandeliers.  Lunch at the Pittman Café in the Mizpah was lovely and delicious: Greek lemon chicken soup and a fantastic burger.    

A bit less opulent…actually a little creepy… is the Clown Motel.  The lobby is filled with clowns of every type and a unique made-up face adorns each guest room door.  Fun but potentially nightmare inducing.

Is it art?  Is it just junk?

25 or so miles south of Tonopah in Goldfield NV we find the International Car Forest of the Last Church.  The pictures say it all. 

Cool thing, I saw three pronghorn antelope as we headed back to Tonopah.  I had not seen any yet this trip through the southwest.
