RoadDog Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wasn't Winnemucca one of the places listed on the song, "I've Been Everywhere?" Think I'll take a pass on the bucking stuff. Old bones, you know. Keep on Bucking Down that Two Lane Highway. --RoadDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wasn't Winnemucca one of the places listed on the song, "I've Been Everywhere?" Absolutely!

Michael Ballard Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 It was also the town that "Mother Mucca" had her brothel, from Tales of the City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 It was also the town that "Mother Mucca" had her brothel, from Tales of the City. The town must have been named after her daughter, Winnie. Actually, wasn't there an Indian leader for whom it was named? It is a very interesting place to stay and visit, with lots of local and nearby road history. Dave Keep the Show on the Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhound Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 One of the tires on my truck is from Winnemucca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ballard Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I still haven't visited the town as yet, gotta cover US 40 across Nevada at some point. I at least have US 6 and US 50 done (yes I took both Carrolls and New Pass). And to make another connection, Tales of the City was to take place in San Francisco, the former terminus of US 40, which Winnemucca is sited along.
