This is the loneliest road in America

Where the state of Nevada folds in half—from the elbow on its western arm at Lake Tahoe across to its Utah border—you’ll find the most direct route across the state. It crosses several communities, a handful of mountain ranges, a national park, and one reservoir, where bobcats, foxes, and wild horses roam free. There’s life, yes, but not a familiar way of life for many. It’s a place where the lines between John Wayne Westerns and everyday life blur, where ghost towns bleed into living ones. This is Route 50, the Loneliest Road in America.

If I had the opportunity, I think I would rather travel US395 than US Route 50. Make a side trip into Death Valley National Park, and the Manson ranch.

When I was around 21 I had an MG. Drove home from Phoenix one windy day and sold it as soon as I got back. With the wind and the trucks I could feel it being ‘lifted’ off the road. Scared the crap out of me. lol

Thanks. Helps me replay out trip last year east to west.

They DID move it to another tree down the way IIRC.
