A cowboy-hatted desert burro fries up a meal in a frying pan over a small fire in a mural overlooking US Highway 50 — The Loneliest Highway In America — in Ely, Nevada. It's on the side of the Hotel Nevada, a magnificent old six story brick building nestled in the lee of hills to the west.

The wonderful old Hotel Nevada, Ely, NV (May 2024). How many times have I taken some variant of this pic over the decades? Not enough, obviously…
