Yes, that is the official name of this place. It is also officially a Non-Profit Organization within Nevada. A good place for a post-apocalyptic movie location. Open 24/7 and free to all, whenever I drive by on Hwy 95, I stop if there are any atmospherics happening.

Not a small level of effort required to add enough ground level support to hold up the vehicular trees 😁

Fun endeavor - glad you grabbed some shots.

Hey Michael,

I have yet to photograph there, but I need to. Seeing these images you post, I really want to shoot the night sky there.

Hey Michael,

These images both face north, that's about the only direction with an unobstructed sky. East, west, and south have some high hills blocking about 20 degrees above the horizon. So you'll need to shoot a twilight image for blending or else have a dark band between foreground and sky. There is also an area about 50 feet below the buses where the cars are. It"s even worse. Good luck and show us what you come up with. If I'm ever there at night I think I'll just go for star trails behind the cars/buses!
