Loneliest Road?

US-50 is billed as the loneliest highway in America. I drove it, west to east across Nevada. Ha. I’ve seen lonelier, especially in southeast Utah. The drive was exciting at times…I had to drive through a snowstorm for most of the day it took to traverse Nevada. My mud&snow tires plus all-wheel-drive inspired confidence. Xena, the Warrior Princess, was unconcerned and napped, missing most of Nevada.

Snowy Nevada roads. I could only take pics during the relatively calm parts of the drive. You’ll have to imagine the parts where the roadway was completely whited out.
This road is much more to my liking.
I’ll bet you think you know what a shoe tree is. Think again and look closely.
That’s right, shoes! Hundreds of shoes tossed into this tree, right the middle of empty Nevada.
I’ll have to give Nevadans one thing…they have a really big moon.

  1. I miss snow, but not driving in it. I is quite loely to look at. You may not share that sentiment when driving in a white out. You could have stopped until the snow let up if you have a way to keep warm in the vehicle.

  2. Lovely vistas. Hope that you picked up some new footware from the shoe tree. We don’t have many of those back east.
