Once you leave Hinckley Utah you’re pretty much on your own till you come to the Borderline Casino about ninety miles down the road. I’d been driving for hours on this deserted two-lane without passing any signs of life along the way. It’s the kind of road where if you stop to pee you can just let loose anywhere cause no one’s going to see you… Darcy and I were on our way to Great Basin National Park and a motel nearby, but first, we were making a stop in Baker to pick up some supplies.
Baker Nevada is a bend in the road on hwy 487. It’s what’s called a census-designated place, only about 70 people living in a small cluster of homes and a couple of stores. Among them is the Bristlecone General Store, a place for food and conversation. And poking around the store I notice a rack of business cards with one that says; High Desert Ranch Wife Photography. Flipping it over I read; Photos of a real working ranch — Tana Baker, the real working ranch wife, and then a website. Well you know I have to check that out.
