State Route 264 runs through total desolation for something like 50 miles. The only reason I took it is that Google Maps showed it as a good shortcut North of Death Valley, to get from SR395 in CA to Las Vegas. As I was driving down this road, 65 MPH limit, a police car came down one of the dirt side roads and pulled over. A few minutes later I noticed he was following me about 1/4 mile back and he stayed there for somewhere between 5 and 10 miles. I stayed right on the speed limit, but I had Arizona plates in Nevada, so he just stayed there. My family and I were looking for a gas station and we came up on Esmeralda Township, a wide spot in the road with a General Store and 2 gas pumps. I pulled into the gas station, made a U-turn to get the right side of the pump and got out, then the officer came to a stop in front of me. Just coming into town, there are two signs within probably 10 yards of each other, 55 MPH and 45 MPH. He was just waiting for me to do what everybody else probably does in that town, not slow down until after the 45 MPH sign. $292 for putting on my brakes a couple of seconds too late. I can fight the ticket, if I want to drive 400+ miles back to Goldfield in a month. One funny thing, on the ticket is the address of the Goldfield, NV Courthouse, it is at 403 Crook Street, fitting.
