These huts and shacks were quite a ways from the main road and you could easily miss them.

When I was a kid these were probably the kinds of shacks and forts I wished I could have found and lived in.

I would have guessed these places were abandoned, except a couple had trucks out front.

I didn't think anyone could farm out here either, but I passed a field of onions.

I'd seen onion fields back home in Michigan, so I knew exactly what they looked like.

But this must have been the loneliest onion farm in the world.

What kind of a family would want to farm for onions way out here?

It was a three-hour drive to Sunnyside, Nevada from Salt Lake.

I still had an hour to go.

The quiet was getting to me.

I was pretty sure the volume knob was under the passenger seat.

I reached down to see if I could find it keeping my eye on the road.

I could just feel the edge of it.

I inched down to get a hold of the knob.

There was a flash of movement just the corner of my eye.

I bolted upright and tried to swerve.

Too late.

Damn it.

A dead rabbit was lying on the road behind me.

I thought about stopping, kicking the thing to the side of the road.
