Oasis, Nevada
I grew up here from 4 to 13 years old. My parents were part of a commune that relocated to the desert from the California Coast, for multiple and complicated reasons. Most of my first memories were of this land, including this truck stop that we had fixed up and run.
We just called it Oasis, like the exit it was located at. In a sense, it was an oasis in the desert for the folks who would have driven by on I-80. I wonder what some of them must have thought about all those earnest, mainly happy young hippies.
