Trekking Through Nothingness to the Nevada Border

So off to Fields it was! The road was long and boring, but it did take us over
Bird Hill, through a low pass in the Steens Mountains over to the valley on
the other side, and into Fields. When the gas pump clicked past 18 gallons, the
old-timer working the pump commented, "You boys must've been pretty low on gas,
eh?" We sure were! The population of the town was a whopping 14, so I felt the
need to purchase a mug commemorating that fact.
