About to cross into Nevada (circa 1950-51), Bernie stopped to grab this photo on what is now the heavily traveled 15 freeway. It wouldn’t be until 1955 that Whiskey Petes, a two-pump gas station, would open just up the road. Bernie may have crossed into the gambling state, but couldn’t gamble on the amount of petrol in his tank before he made it to a gas station on that lonely stretch of desert road in those days.
