Stopped for lunch at EL CAPITAN in Hawthorn, Nevada on
04/01/08. Still have same free separate parking facilities for RV's and
Trucks. Free dump station. The Trucks are required to turn off their engines
within 15 minutes of parking. It is a city ordinance- signs all over the
place. See photos. The food was standard coffee house fare.

Surprised you don't include the El Capitan
Casino, 800-922-2311, "The Friendliest Stop Between Reno & Las Vegas," GPS:
N38° 31.515', W118° 37.338', NE corner of US-95 and 6th St in the center of
Hawthorne, NV.
They allow overnight RV parking for
customers, in a separate area from trucker parking, a block E of the casino
motel. They also have a free standard (flush water) dump station in the
middle of the RV/Truck parking lot. Decent food.
We were just there 6-7-07 (at the Elks,
across the street) and noted this RV parking and dump station are still
good. Hawthorne, "America's Patriotic Home," has two excellent museums, the
unique Hawthorne Ordnance Museum on US-95/E Street (main) on the N end of
town, and the Mineral County Museum, one block W of US-95/E St on 10th St.
The Veteran's Memorial Park on the N end, across from that museum, sports a
huge American flag, the Hawthorne neon sign, and several unique bomb fin
wind spinners. On Armed Forces Day in mid-May, they fly the largest American
flag in NV, 79' x 40', see the bottom of
www.nevadatroopsupport.com/id2.html . The McDonald's is to the E
of the park. There are two RV parks in town, a nice new one near the
Safeway, Whiskey Flats RV Park,
www.whiskeyflats.net .
Stunning 11,239' Mt. Grant dominates the
Wassuk Mountain Range to the W and Walker Lake to the N has several BLM
boondocking sites along the shore of the lake below US-95. Neat town.
