Nothing

Know what’s between Phoenix and Las Vegas? Nothing.

Nothing, Arizona

I don’t mean it’s totally empty – on the way to Las Vegas, we drove by a Joshua tree forest and ate at an unfriendly hot dog place.

We also noticed a spot on the map off highway 93, between Wickenburg and Wickieup, for the town of Nothing, Arizona. I’m using the term “town” very loosely here.

On the way back, we stopped there, in front of the abandoned gas station that’s the only building in sight. According to the sign painted on the side, Nothing has a population of 4.

But even that may be an exaggeration.

  1. What a neat spot…I love that it’s literally called “Nothing.” I wonder who (and where) those 4 people are. Love the shot of the random desk chair in the desert by the sign.

    1. Thanks! And, yes, I have those same questions! Do they live back out of view of the road somewhere? Or did they move on?
