Thunder Mountain Monument
Imlay NV
We passed by this spot several years ago...one of those "oops, missed the exit, maybe next time" moments. (easy enough on the 500-mile trek between Reno and SLC)

The "restoration" seems more like benign neglect--the buildings are all fenced off--but we appreciate the effort.

Wow. Talk about a TSG-ready roadside attraction.
I guess I am left with a very fundamental question; how is that stuff somehow a Historical Indian Monument? I can see "Indian," though, there are some rather odd takes there on what "Indian" might mean. And, if I get very relaxed about the whole thing, I can see "Monument," too. But "Historical?"
Putting all of that aside, quite the amazing little project.
I suppose the "Historical" moniker is Nevada's way of assigning the location some form of protected status. Most people would probably question the need for protecting a "junkyard" like this, but these are the places road trippers live for, and I heartily endorse any effort to keep the bulldozers away.
