If you’re driving Interstate 80 through Nevada, a good place to
stop and pee the dog is a small town called Lovelock, about an hour and a half east of Reno.
It’s very small, but it has a
McDonald’s
right off the highway. I find that chain nearly essential on road trips for its bathrooms, all-day breakfast and emergency coffee.
Even more worth a stop, however, is the city’s downtown that features interesting architecture and a park where couples come to
“lock their love.”
A few blocks away from the McDonald’s is the handsome
Pershing County Courthouse, and behind that is a nice park with plenty of grass
for the dog.
The park also has several posts with chains full of locks.
Given that the city’s name is Lovelock, it seems people come from all over to
write their names on locks and leave them in the city park.
