Artificial oasis
It was on highway 95 that we saw this artificial oasis in the middle of the desert. The temperature was over 100F so it was nice to pull over to the shade right next to the water and took a break.

City of Searchlight
When we got to the city of Searchlight on highway 95, I saw this gas station was selling 100 octane racing fuel at the pump. Interesting. As this is the 1st time I saw 100 octane racing fuel being sold at the pump.
