I know of two places called Tonopah, one in Arizona and one in Nevada (just drove through there a few weeks ago), both are tiny. I'm assuming there's one closer to you?
Tonopah Nevada does have a clown motel next to a cemetery, that would make for an interesting con hotel!

Enjoy the con!

Tonopah AZ - truck stop, one restaurant, one old hotel, one Hot Spring to enjoy and one Hickman's Egg Farm to stink up the whole region.....

And maybe a few spare rads from the nuke plant!

Dang big one too.

You know? I actually forgot westercon existed.

Its been too long since I went to any cons.
I need to change that.

Have fun.

Enjoy the trip!

I like to drive too. One of these days I will buy a car again. Have fun at the con.

Tonopah, Nevada? Well, have fun.

Have a great time!

I'll be damned the con IS in Tonopah Nevada!
A short drive to Goldfield is worthwhile if you like neat old places. I found some old mining drill bits I'd been looking for for years there at a roadside "anteeks" shop.
Less that 2 hours away in Hawthorne is the Hawthorne Ordnance Museum, a free museum full of ordnance displays from the local ordnance factory and the Army base/test ranges. Well worth a visit! Plus a very scenic drive between all three places.

Oh, awesome!

It was at a Westercon that I discovered furry fandom. Have fun!

And my brain starts singing "Oh, the filk was great at this year's Westercon!"

(That song by Joe Bethancourt was on the CD released as a compilation after Conterpoint 3 in 2000, CD also titled "The Filk Was Great...")

Safe travels!

Have a good time on the drive and at the con!

Enjoy the con in Tonopah NV. I believe the Blue Angels train out that way. Con in Tonopah AZ would be interesting - truckstop, one old hotel, one hot spring place, one restaurant and a Hickman's Egg Farm - aka the chicken sh*t factory...

Rock on! So jealous!

Whoa, that con has been around since 1948, now that's staying power!

Haven't been to a good ol' sci-fi/fantasy con in some years myself; have a blast!
