Next time you’re in Nevada, be sure to pop into the town (village? or hamlet?) of Primeaux. It’s several miles west of Elko, which is suspended in the desert wasteland between Reno and Salt Lake City.
And if you are in the Pyrenees in the south of France and run out of things to do, just rendezvous in Mouledous.
