Humboldt House to Battle Mountain, NV, May 23
"...I left Humboldt at 5:40 a.m. without breakfast. I struck sandy going at once, and took to the everlasting crossties and kept on them nearly all the way to Winnemucca, 45 miles from Humboldt. ...Winnemucca, a cattle town is quite a place. I got some gasoline there, and put a plug of food in my stomach, which had been without breakfast."
Waypoint Today: Wyman rode into Winnemucca along the Transcontinental RR tracks, after having a rough time on the sandy road. He would have passed the now historic Martin Hotel as he entered town seeking gas.
