I live in Nevada. If you fly over in a plane, its featureless. If you drive, its beautiful. It's absolutely mind blowing at sunrise, sunset, or during thunderstorms as the shadows fleetingly reveal the secret vistas of the landscape.
As far as I know, US 50 is the only 2-lane road that completely traverses this country, from just outside of Baltimore, all the way to Sacramento, California. Drove the entire thing back in 1971, in my `65 Buick Riviera Gran Sport. That was a great trip ! The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Who, Tull, Yes, Creedence, and about 30 others were all in heavy rotation in the 8-track player :-)
My wife and I drove this in Sep of 1996 from Jackson Hole Wyo, overnight at the Parsonage House in Eureka and onto Lake Tahoe. Fantastic drive even bought a "Highway 50 Loneliest Road in America" tee shirt in Austin. Very few cars we saw on this hwy but unfortunately one was the Sheriff from Eureka and would you believe he was drivng a Camaro . And yes after following us for about 10 miles,he pulled us over when coming into Eureka. Did not get a ticket for speeding but got me for driving in the center of the road..Icing on the "Cake"....Fantastic time back then...and a fantastic drive on lonely 50. Can remember this spectacular trip like yesterday day.. Parsonage House in Eureka like an overnight dream..
My Grandfather was born in Fallon. His Dad & Uncle had a stage coach company that was involved in the last Wells, Fargo & Co. payroll robbery that wiped them out. They all moved to San Jose. This was in 1908.
Made the trip on 50 twice, in a Toyota 4runner with my Tonkanese cat from Missouri to Ukiah CA., she was 17 when she passed a few years later, still cannot bring myself to watch the videos of our road trip......
Sir---------in the summer of '77, my late-wife & I took US 50, going back to Denver, from LA. wE DECIDED TO JUST TRY IT & SEE , & WE ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. There's a part of me, that many times wishes, I could live in a small town like Fallon & Ely Nevada. I'm a big city boy, but I love the small towns on old Route 66, & on US 50. We cut over to Hwy. 285, through the Mountains of Colorado, & finally back to Denver, in 2+ days. We drove our '70 Ford Maverick, a 6 Cylinder engine, with A/C & Automatic Tranny, with new tires, a full check up in LA, & we never had a problem. ----------One of my very best memories, ever. I used to love to drive. ---------------Sadly now, I don't drive anymore. It saddens me, but at 74 y/o, it's just not smart or safe. --------------------------Wolfsky9, 74 y/o
You know Russ I love watching you your Channel your drone shots really cool I got another person I watch her name is wonderhussy she's in Nevada based on Las Vegas but she goes to Old mining towns and ghost towns in Hot Springs hot springs in Nevada so cool you got to get on board you got to be checking out these places and your free time are you know what this video was awesome. To travel 600 miles got to see a lot of beautiful country thank you I really mean that thank you so much brings back good memories back when I was a kid 50 years ago well see you on the next video
I have traveled that road. It not the loneliest. I have traveled through the Dakotas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. On some occasions, I did not encounter another vehicle for an hour. We are fortunate that there are still some sparsely populated areas.
I drove Hwy 50 from Sacramento to Gunnison, Co. in 1973. It was an epic drive. So much so that I did it again in 2001 and once again in 2005. I agree that everyone should drive at least a part of Hwy 50 once in their life. For anyone interested in geology and driving, I recommend the series of books called "Roadside Geology". Each book covers the geology of a state along the interstates and state hwys and is referenced by mile marker.
I visited the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in the early 1990s. It was an amazing canyon, and even during the height of the summer tourist season, there were hardly any other cars there. I drove from viewpoint to viewpoint and marveled at the depth of the canyon. That place is definitely worth seeing.
Bought that at Great Basin NP also John McPhee's book "Basin and Range" for an understanding of the larger picture. Used the first a little eg going up to Twin Falls.
Missus and I drove a camper van from Darwin to Perth, nearly 4000km counting side trips, in one month... roads not too shabby at all, until one took turn offs for campsites 'off the beaten track' (90 mile beach being a good example.) when it became just a semi-graded dirt road. Overall, though, a magnificent experience which we intend to repeat, maybe in the opposite direction from Perth to Cairns. Termite mounds as folk art are pretty cool and amusing, and the termites don't seem to mind!
Neat video. Brought back memories of driving a 1990 Ford Festiva from Cali back to Iowa. The little Festiva didn't have enough power and would only pull the passes in 3d gear. An older couple at Fallon told us it would be best to not drive in the dark............it was open range and the cattle would come out and lay down on the warm pavement. They said the last thing you want to do is hit an angus cow laying in your lane with her back to you. Festiva against cow, nobody wins that one.
My Mother lived in N. Cali...I drove this one time and the second time with my friends...yes Pony Express route for sure...great ride...after Carson City...the road was too gorgous for words...hidden lake then Tahoe(I swam in when young...)Thanks...great memory...
I was just there! Drove from Los Angeles to Twin Falls via Hwy 50. Stayed one night in the Ely Motel 6 - the skeeziest motel I've ever stayed in. The views along this highway are breathtaking - miles and mikes of gorgeous snowy peaks. I really enjoyed this drive.
I just drove this road from west too east last week on my way to Tennessee. Drove all the way from Sacramento. This is probably my 10th trip on this road and I love it. Beautiful views, great road and solitude. This was my favorite section of the entire 2300 mile drive. I will drive it again next year just for the fun of it. I especially love Ely and Great Basin National Park .
We drove from fallon nv to all the way to iowa to see bridges of madison county .... its just beautiful drive .. i will do that again sometimes in near future . Thanks for refreshing my memories 🌻🌻
Ok, you win. You've made me want to see that road. Yes, the views are beautiful and the open road is calling me. Seeing new places, seeing new things and meeting new people too. The open road, that's the place to be, it's grey and black ribbons on calling me. And I am stuck here.
Thank you so much for this video. You actually showed the scenery every other rver just shows their face and sometimes a tiny box with scenery so you basically just get to hear them talk about it.
Hello Russ! I watched your video of the Loneliest Hwy in America US Route 50 and it looks spectacular! I have to all of the Utah National Parks and next time I'm there I will drive that scenic highway to Carson City and head south to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. Great video Russ!
Loved this ❤️ video. My late wife and I drove this in 1989, in a 71 Ford LTD car, headed to California. We really enjoyed it. Very fun drive. Thanks so much for sharing this.
That lonely old road is just as beautiful from the cab of a tractor-trailer rig! I drove that once, about 30 years ago, from Ely to Carson City. Gorgeous drive!
The US routes are the way to go. Especially out west, but from about Ohio on out to California US 50 is really great. I love the "Two Lane Blacktop" because that's where you really see America. Coming into and out of the towns and cities along the way.
I'm heading back out there in May for the first time in almost 30 yrs. Compared to the roads over here in the UK your desert roads are a dream. Can't wait to get back there again, and hopefully my wife will appreciate that part of the world as much as I do
Just discovered your channel wow nice drive , I’m riding my exercise bike while watching it makes it so much more interesting and see places I’ve never been , thanks for sharing.i hope you make them longer drives for us all to go with you on your adventures. This was way to short lol
Brother i just did drive this road 5 days ago...I visited my sister in Chicago for Thanksgiving and i took hwy 50 west on my way home to California..from Carlson Colorado to Ely Nevada.. great experience... Thanks for posting this video..Have a great day. And drive safety..Bye...
Also the friendliest road in Nevada unless you are an Asshat, most of the people who live here are just plain common folk who like to hear of other things from far away places, like Reno, or San Francisco. I live near the old Ghost town of Belmont Nevada, so Fallon and Austin are the go to places for me. I love the serenity and the quiet of the mountainous area that I live in, wouldn't trade it for anyplace else. Thanks for the great video of our area, and stay safe out there.
Used to back haul out of Sparks going to Denver love this road a couple good eating spots very little traffic usually ran on to somebody to run and BS with most the way across, Western Colorado is absolutely beautiful in the evening Sun.
As . a trucker from PA. I made a round trip out thru Fallon. Beautiful little oasis in the desert. Never got to travel U.S.50 but ive heard its a fun drive except in winter. Thanks for sharing your fjourney. Be safe out there.
not so lonely..when i drove it a few years ago,for about 10 miles a cop followed me in a chevy camaro, when driving into Eureka he gave me a ticket for driving on the center line.He was hoping to get me for speeding but i had a hunch he could be a cop. We stayed at the beautiful Parsonage Cottage in Eureka an old chuch turned into this magnificient cottage wine cellar and all..Hope u picked up your souvenir shirt "lonliest highway in America ". fantastic road to drive
Yeah, doncha just love when cops patrol desolate roads for the sole purpose of catching speeders? I'm normally in their corner, but sometimes, it seems like they needlessly go out of their way just for the sake of writing tickets to give themselves something to do and to look good to their bosses. It's as if it's one big game to them. If someone's tearing down I-80 through Reno at 100 mph, that's one thing. But to sit with a radar/lidar gun on, say, US 375 between Warm Springs and Rachel (or any other stretch of road in the middle of nowhere where you can do 100 without even realizing it), that's ridiculous.
@Dave Smith That's what I'm wondering. It's a pretty major route across country. I drove it when I was relocating when I was in the Navy, but I returned home for my 30 days of leave (plus a few more for travel) from Virginia to Las Vegas (my home town). There's plenty of traffic, not just from freight semi trucks, but passenger cars as well.
@@JimmyMon666 I agree. I have driven four times on I-40 in that stretch. It is fairly busy, as you have written. Once, in my case, a poorly-fastened sheet (plywood or steel, I am not sure) flew off from another vehicle. Fortunately, it did not hit another vehicle or person!
I really enjoyed this. Clear, crisp video with excellent narration.. Pleasure driving with you! We took this route several years ago and enjoyed the abandon. The stars at night were overwhelming.
I just discovered this channel a couple days ago, for the last four years me and my wife have gone on a 2 Week road trip in October, unfortunately we had to cancel this year’s trip with everything that’s going on it’s easier than stressing about everything to just take a longer one next year. This channel has made me smile it makes me miss the open road I can’t wait for that long road trip next year so for the next week or so I will be binging your channel thanks for bringing such great content I can’t wait for the next video.
I was stationed in Fallon at the navy base and Fallon does look different then when I was there. I did enjoy going to the college baseball games while I was there
* I took hwy 50 back in 2001 as a truck driver..took it in a snowstorm once i hit higher elevation. Big rigs are not really recommended in the winter.👀But..this was a late september surprise lol. Anyway enjoyed the ride. great video my friend & thanks for sharing. Happy trails!*
I live in Fallon and I will tell you where my favorite stop along this route is... A little 1 horse stop named Middle Gate it was a stop on the Pony Express. Great place to stop for a burger about 50 miles east of Fallon.
Thanks for sharing! Such a pretty drive and appreciate all the effort you put in to make these videos so professional! One of my favs of your channel -- all that wide open blue sky with the big, white clouds. Enchanting. And glad you watched that gas gauge, I'd hate to get stuck low on fuel on that stretch of road LOL!!!
I live in Nevada. If you fly over in a plane, its featureless. If you drive, its beautiful. It's absolutely mind blowing at sunrise, sunset, or during thunderstorms as the shadows fleetingly reveal the secret vistas of the landscape.
As far as I know, US 50 is the only 2-lane road that completely traverses this country, from just outside of Baltimore, all the way to Sacramento, California.

I used this road often when I was trucking. One of my favorites!
Thank you for indicating the towns we're passing through. I wish all video drive posters would follow your example!
Thanks, RVerTV ,Russ 👍
the MOST BEAUTIFUL ROAD on the planet
Agreed.
I would have pulled over and made a cup of coffee, that is my kind of road! Thanks for another great one!
+smacdiesel i took a couple breaks... pulling the u -haul trailer was the spoiler
My Grandfather was born in Fallon. His Dad & Uncle had a stage coach company that was involved in the last Wells, Fargo & Co. payroll robbery that wiped them out. They all moved to San Jose.
This was in 1908.
Rick Le Blanc - I luv the history of some of these comments

i love driving these type of highways, its was beautiful
Gorgeous scenery, thanks for posting this. It's so nice to be able to see these places that I'll otherwise never be able to see!
Wow feeling so peace to watch this lonely road...
I have traveled that road. It not the loneliest. I have traveled through the Dakotas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. On some occasions, I did not encounter another vehicle for an hour. We are fortunate that there are still some sparsely populated areas.
Awesome video!! It felt as if I was driving myself. Thanks for sharing!!

The part of Nevada not many people see. Loving it man.
Absolutely beautiful country as an Australian I really have to comment on your roads ...they are the best in the world
Then don't ever drive in California; your impression of "best roads" will be shot to hell in an instant.
It depends on which state you are in
Missus and I drove a camper van from Darwin to Perth, nearly 4000km counting side trips, in one month... roads not too shabby at all, until one took turn offs for campsites 'off the beaten track' (90 mile beach being a good example.) when it became just a semi-graded dirt road.

Gary Quelch Thank you Gary, I’d have to agree. 😂✌🏽🇺🇸
My wife and I drove it and arrived in Ely spent the night. In the morning we were snowed in for the day. Glad we made it to Ely.
drove several times on a big truck .loved it everytime
Your presentations are EXCELLENT and very viewer friendly!
Extremely beautiful. Thank you for your hard work bringing this to us. Cape Town.
Thanks for sharing this ride with you Brother.
Some of these towns look like they should be in a movie. The sky looked beautiful.
Neat video. Brought back memories of driving a 1990 Ford Festiva from Cali back to Iowa. The little Festiva didn't have enough power and would only pull the passes in 3d gear.

Bohica1966 I say your wrong , there would be a winner ..... the new car company you would be buying your new car from lol !!!
My Mother lived in N. Cali...I drove this one time and the second time with my friends...yes Pony Express route for sure...great ride...after Carson City...the road was too gorgous for words...hidden lake then Tahoe(I swam in when young...)Thanks...great memory...
Fantastic! This road trip has been on my bucket list for years.
I was just there! Drove from Los Angeles to Twin Falls via Hwy 50. Stayed one night in the Ely Motel 6 - the skeeziest motel I've ever stayed in. The views along this highway are breathtaking - miles and mikes of gorgeous snowy peaks. I really enjoyed this drive.
Skeeziest? Is that like sleazy? :-)
Want to see Sleazy? Stay at the Clown Motel in Tonopah.. Frick'n Clowns are scary!!
@@kenuber4766 The only saving grace for Tonopah is that mining museum up on the hill. The rest of the town can blow away, & nobody would miss it :-)
@@terryballard4674 Boy you sure got that right. LOL. Spent 2,5 yrs there working on a Solar farm outside of town.
This is on my bucket list I drive trucks for living and I always wanted to Drive across it
US 50 is also on my bucket list, thanks for sharing your experience there. Happy Travels 🍺
Up here in N Idaho, this is on my road list going south ... thanks for a nice adventure
I just drove this road from west too east last week on my way to Tennessee. Drove all the way from Sacramento. This is probably my 10th trip on this road and I love it. Beautiful views, great road and solitude. This was my favorite section of the entire 2300 mile drive. I will drive it again next year just for the fun of it. I especially love Ely and Great Basin National Park .
I think everyone should drive the Great Basin at least once... amazing
Did u move to Tennessee
Brilliant. I had a great trip too. Many thanks. Never knew parts of Nevada were so high.
Thanks for sharing your trip, relaxing, and real nice.
Awesome video. That drive will have to wait another year.
We drove from fallon nv to all the way to iowa to see bridges of madison county .... its just beautiful drive .. i will do that again sometimes in near future .
Thanks for refreshing my memories 🌻🌻
Been there, drove that, on my way back to North Carolina from my Route 66 trip driving my Mustang convertible with the top down.
Retired and never been the RV route. Your vid got me wanting to. Enjoyed it.
Ok, you win. You've made me want to see that road. Yes, the views are beautiful and the open road is calling me. Seeing new places, seeing new things and meeting new people too. The open road, that's the place to be, it's grey and black ribbons on calling me. And I am stuck here.

Great road trip, great video. Thanks for sharing.
your video really conveys the wide open spaces that we in england can only dream of ,thankyou.
Richard - the wild, American West, no other place like it on earth - lol

I drive from Las Vegas to Boise on the Great Basin Highway.. never ever let my tank get below 1/2.. enjoyed this video..
Thanks for bringing back some really good memories
one of the best road trip i every took
I just took a ride with you in your car through Nevada. Beautiful scenery, pleasant voice and no disturbing music.
Thanks for picking me up!
Must make this trip just beautiful! Thanks for taking us along be safe.
+Roger Dole thanks roger
I lived in Fallon for many years back when I work at the air base. Lots of helo rides to work on tracking equipment on the mountain tops.
I love little towns. They can have a ton of interesting things about them. Thanks for taking us along on the ride. Safe travels!
+Nomadic Traveler thank you

What a beautiful drive. I grew up in Nevada, & used to drive all over the state. Thanks for the video & the memories.
One of the best videos I've ever watched! Thank you!
thank you
Thank you very much. I worked at Cold Springs Station last year ( 2017 ) what a kick.
Thank you for sharing! Great job.
Also the friendliest road in Nevada unless you are an Asshat, most of the people who live here are just plain common folk who like to hear of other things from far away places, like Reno, or San Francisco. I live near the old Ghost town of Belmont Nevada, so Fallon and Austin are the go to places for me. I love the serenity and the quiet of the mountainous area that I live in, wouldn't trade it for anyplace else. Thanks for the great video of our area, and stay safe out there.
We drove a highway from Winnemucca NV to Lakeview OR. That road is just a descolent but only about 180 miles.
Used to back haul out of Sparks going to Denver love this road a couple good eating spots very little traffic usually ran on to somebody to run and BS with most the way across, Western Colorado is absolutely beautiful in the evening Sun.
did this highway with my parents back in 1977and it was definitely very lonely during those days
As . a trucker from PA. I made a round trip out thru Fallon. Beautiful little oasis in the desert. Never got to travel U.S.50 but ive heard its a fun drive except in winter. Thanks for sharing your fjourney. Be safe out there.
not so lonely..when i drove it a few years ago,for about 10 miles a cop followed me in a chevy camaro, when driving into Eureka he gave me a ticket for driving on the center line.He was hoping to get me for speeding but i had a hunch he could be a cop.
We stayed at the beautiful Parsonage Cottage in Eureka an old chuch turned into this magnificient cottage wine cellar and all..Hope u picked up your souvenir shirt "lonliest highway in America ". fantastic road to drive
Yeah, doncha just love when cops patrol desolate roads for the sole purpose of catching speeders?

Loneliest road I've ever been on was the stretch of I-40 from Amarillo, Tx. to Tucumcari, NM. We didn't see a single vehicle the entire trip.
Studa Baker Try US 212 From BELLE FOURCHE (Yes, You Pronounce The R In FOURCHE, Hence Like Number 4) SD To CROW AGENCY GARRYOWEN MT!!
I was in Amarillo to see an old friend, that place was yuck.

Lol,.I just traveled that stretch,..not many travelers to be sure,..but still lots of trucks
@@JimmyMon666 I agree. I have driven four times on I-40 in that stretch. It is fairly busy, as you have written. Once, in my case, a poorly-fastened sheet (plywood or steel, I am not sure) flew off from another vehicle. Fortunately, it did not hit another vehicle or person!
Didn't find this till today 8/5/19 but thoroughly enjoyed your vid. Wouldn't mind making that trip myself & I'm on the east coast. Thx!
Love these classic RVerTV videos!! They never get old!
US 50 interstate looks awesome! Thanks for sharing

just rode this road on my Harley this summer. Thoroughly enjoyed it
what an awesome drive...wow...thanks for sharing...along for the ride...nice.
+Nor Cal Dave thanks dave
I really enjoyed this. Clear, crisp video with excellent narration.. Pleasure driving with you! We took this route several years ago and enjoyed the abandon. The stars at night were overwhelming.
What a wonderful drive, thanks for a quality video with a spot-on commentary. The towns are what I expected to see on the "old wild west"!
+Downunda's Videos it was a cool ride... thanks !!
Thanks for sharing your journey. That drive is on my bucket list. So pretty, so peaceful. 😀
fun going back looking @ your older vids knocking them down one by one......
I'll put it on my bucket list. Thank you for the great video and narration.
Thank you
I grew up in Fallon. So good to see my home state. Thank you.
How enjoyable! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your drive it sure is beautiful, something I must do it’s just amazing How gorgeous this country is
Brings back memories. Went west to east on a motorcycle in 110 f heat! You did not mention all the rock signage on the shoulders. Pretty entertaining!
Another great ride along. Pretty views. Like those old towns. 🙂👍
America is beautiful. So glad you had the idea to keep a camera on your dashboard to share your travels, thank you 🙌🏽
Great work, awesome video. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
Real Rugged Nevada very scenic.

I just discovered this channel a couple days ago, for the last four years me and my wife have gone on a 2 Week road trip in October, unfortunately we had to cancel this year’s trip with everything that’s going on it’s easier than stressing about everything to just take a longer one next year.

One of my favs of your channel -- all that wide open blue sky with the big, white clouds. Enchanting. And glad you watched that gas gauge, I'd hate to get stuck low on fuel on that stretch of road LOL!!!
+Reba Kennedy thanks reba.... it was a beautiful day and driving through the rain clouds made even better
Thanks Russ for the HWY 50 tour. Adding to my bucket list. Love the old mining towns, be safe out there.
+mcanning51 thank you !!!
Two years ago I went from Iowa to California, up to Washington and back home. Drove a lot of the roads you have shown.
Looks like there’s no rush hour traffic there. Really peaceful.
