10. Pahrump is the Shoshone name for Water Rock, Pahrump

is in Nye County and sits on the nation's largest underground aquifer and is the 3rd largest county in the US.
It's a very, very red county with a lot of red lunatics.
I really don't like delivering loads to Pahrump, but most of my loads are going to Pahrump WalMart and they pay top mileage, which helps with the bottom dollar.
