We decided to go for a drive again just to kill part of the day. We weren’t up for an all-day drive, so we headed over the hump to Pahrump. I thought maybe we would see some funny pandemic related displays at the world-famous Chicken Ranch. Instead, even though it is open for business, we didn’t see a single car in the parking lot. One would assume given the Governor’s mask mandate for businesses, at least some of the services that would normally be on the menu can’t legally be performed.
We thought that maybe at the other famous bordello in town, Shari’s Ranch, that there might be a little more going on. When we toured the Chicken Ranch and Shari’s many years ago, Shari’s had a hopping busy bar, with lots of locals just there for a drink (at least that is what it seemed like.) Well, we were wrong. There was not a single car parked here as well.
We finally did find where all the cars were. The parking lot at the Pahrump Valley Winery was absolutely packed. As we drove through, we could see that the dining room was packed as well. Even from the car looking through the dining room windows, it was pretty apparent that social distancing wasn’t the foremost thought in everyone’s mind.
We hope to be talking to you soon.
