Been down this highway several times working for uship. Desolate and beautiful plus I found it peaceful having zero traffic to battle. Drove it on moonless night heading east and the stars were magnificent. Safe travels.
I've been on highway 50, it's really dark with hardly any traffic and sometimes when you go over a pass with trees, you'll more likely see eyes glowing from behind a tree.
Great Basin National Park, just to the west of the border, has been designated as an international dark sky park. The National Park Service claims it has the best view of the Milky Way in the lower 48 states. Wish my wife and I had enough time to check it out when we visited Lehman Cave.
I drove that highway a bunch of times when I was working on the construction of those windmills. We stayed in Ely and drove out every day. Thanks for the views.
My wife and I went down Hwy 50 back during the pseduo gas shortage of the 70's. I drove more than one hundred miles without seeing another car or truck. It was wonderful.
Perhaps its impertinent, but a ask my self this morning watching your long road movie how many people like, loves mike in the right sense of course. I think a lot an well over the world . How many can say that. We enjoy you Mike keep it safe respect,from the Netherlands.
I live in Reno and go deer and antelope hunting around Austin, NV. I had to laugh when you noticed a road in the distance and wanted to see what was up there. I do that all the time. I drove the dirt road from Austin to Tonopah once. Cant wait to do it again 100 miles of dirt. I just watched an hour of Hwy 50 driving. I love that drive. Thank you.
Wonderful! Although I'm a Londoner I've driven the whole of Highway 50, Ocean City to Sacramento also Highway 1 Fort Kent to Key West...gotta luv a USA Roadtrip!!
Always fun to see the roads I once traveled again. I did them much like you except in a service van. This was before cell phones, so one had to be prepared for anything and usually take care of it by yourself. First took Hwy 50 in a U-Haul heading East and I was on fumes. Thrilling!
You are right about I-80 Mike. That freeway is so heavily travelled and has a lot of ruts in the right lane. As you know, Donner pass can be a pain during storms too. Thanks for sharing vids with us!
Watching your video makes you feel like your riding in the truck and seeing the countryside. I've never see that part of the country so it's very fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
I took II took Rt. 50 back in 2012 on a trip to the Left Coast. For some reason I saw Austin, Nev. on a map when I was in 5th grade and wanted to see what it was like. Left Wendover, Utah, and headed west. Got to Austin and LOVED it!! Didn't want to leave. Wife went ballistic. Said she'd hitchhike to Carson City and fly home and I could stay. She won that argument. Damn city girl. I still believe there's lonelier roads in Mississippi. I watched the vid for over 22 minutes so I could see if Austin looked the same only to see y'all skipped it. Boo! Guess I'll have to go back and see. Leave city girl home and take my old cat this time.
Drove that road in 1969 in my 54 hemi New Yorker..... never under ninety mph..... mostly in the three digits..... my misspent youth..... thanks for the memories
I used to haul corn to a ranch at Baker NV. it was called Baker Ranch . You can see it from Hiway 50 straight east of Baker about a mile.I hauled it from Greeley Co.
Just take lots of food, water and warm blankets with you. By the morning when it's light someone will pass and you can flag them down. 50 is quiet but someone will eventually pass by.
It's a good idea to get off the road before sunset. There's no point in rushing through it and driving into the night. You can't see and enjoy the views after dark, and starting about dusk and continuing into the night is when your risk of hitting a deer or something larger increase substantially . I've also seen elk out there and free range cattle along the roadside and actually in the roadway, and you really don't want to hit either of those. Take your time, plan on hitting a town and a motel by about dusk, and enjoy a relaxing drive. An auto club membership and cell phone is a good idea too. I didn't pay much attention to my phone when I made that trip by motorcycle but, depending on your carrier, I don't think there are many places along US 50 in Nevada these days that that you wouldn't have cell service and a town with roadside assistance within reasonable distance.
What a wonderful place to see. Thanks for taking me along. I was wondering do you ever get sleepy on a road like that? Well got my answer you take a nap. God Bless you and your family safe travels. Thanks for a nice quite drive. Love your channel.♥️🇺🇸🤩
Thanks for the videos. Thanks for allowing me to ride shotgun. I'm from Fairbanks Alaska and have never had a CDL or driven freight but I've spent a lot of time on the rode in Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48. I'm 76 and really enjoy your videos. Thanks also, for keeping away from political comments.
I drove my semi all the way from Idaho Falls to Las Vegas on Hwy 93, just as lonely and scary in the night time, too many narrows and curves, I was glad when it was over, don't want to do it again though!
The first time I went through Austin Nevada was 1981 and it stuck with me because the way it's built on the side of the highway the last time I went through that town was 93 thanks for the ride along
Good old hiway 50 enjoyed it as much as the last time. Seems like a good smooth road, not too many rough spots. Scenery is certainly beautiful. Hope you have a safe trip rest of the way. Thank you for the ride. Edward
Middle of nowhere works for me every time. I'll be in Nevada and Arizona in about a week for camping/kayaking fun !! My 13th year of paid retirement.....Awesome!!
Very interesting scenery and terrain. Thanks for sharing it. Also you've been so positive about Utah and nice to us in comments about our state. Much appreciated.
To STOP the DROWSINESS instantly : Chew something crunchy -- such as small pretzels. Works for me every time, instantly. I know you're a professional, but I just offer this solution. I have no idea why it works. (Obviously digesting a big meal makes you sleepy.) Another beautiful ride - thank you.
Yep. I chew crunchy snacks if I start to get drowsy. Never heard anybody else recommend it. I also slap myself a few times to make my cheeks sting. It's like rebooting the brain. I've also pulled over and done the 30-minute power nap. It all helps, depending on the situation.
Thank you very much! I kind of had it on my bucket list, to drive down one of these fantastic highways in America. Now I've seen it. Where I live, one cannot drive a single mile without seeing at least a farm and not for more than ten minutes to reach the next village or a city. Thank you very much for the ride!
I took a drive from Sacramento to Baker and back via US-50 just to experience it probably 4-5 months before this video was taken. Such an enjoyable experience!
Its Helen...Another great shotgun ride with you is a pleasure anytime...love riding along with you. Thanks for taking of your time to take us all through those little towns...almost felt like I was back in time...really cool...Thanks Mike
Thanks for the ride, it was pretty cool trip. I felt as though I was in the cab with you. Nice quiet trip, one road that you don't want to have a breakdown on. Your truck was quiet, never realized that they were. Happy trails Mike.
Great video, amazing contrasts of views. Those mountain views just mesmerising but I don't envy you those long, long straight roads regarding maintaining vigilance, respect to you.
Thanks Mike enjoyed the mountains snow made them really stand out. And of course your Mexican over drive good conversation. All ways enjoy the old towns. Thanks again.
Nice ride, isn't it? You are an able driver too! Very dangerous roads but amazing views at all,anyway I enjoy sightseeings that you show us,thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the ride. I imagine you are the driver of that semi that past the man walking along a dusty Winnemuca road while toting a high top canvas covered load. You stopped and the song was written. Be safe.
@@ridingshotgun1251 I sit, entranced, by your videos. The good Lord, in all his wisdom, made a gorgeous planet for us to be on for a short while. I remodel homes and am bound by the dictates of my chosen profession. No complaints but sure is nice to see sectuons of the gorgeous planet through your windshield.

Been down this highway several times working for uship. Desolate and beautiful plus I found it peaceful having zero traffic to battle. Drove it on moonless night heading east and the stars were magnificent. Safe travels.
I love that long, lonely highway. Wide open spaces. I would really like to see the night sky out there, I'll bet it's amazing.
Yes it is beautiful out there luv that sagebrush smell

Frederick Martine eyes from?
@@TheLocalLt : glowing eyes from a cryptid like Bigfoot, Dogman or even an Elk.
As an introvert, this is on top of my wishlist

What wonderful majesty from our creator. I don't think I could go to sleep with all of that surrounding me. Thank you for your great video!
Mother Nature and Father Time thank you.
I love this scenery.
You see the sky?? Anyone see the sky?? No wonder it's so cold.
Perhaps its impertinent, but a ask my self this morning watching your long road movie how many people like, loves mike in the right sense of course. I think a lot an well over the world . How many can say that. We enjoy you Mike keep it safe respect,from the Netherlands.
A clock reminds of time reminds of eternity and asks for the meaning of life in a beautiful creation on one road with two directions. Peace, bro.
Boy, that highway would hypnotise anyone..take care Mike.

At 38:08 ....AWWWW those Mountains. The sierra Nevada's are gorgeous. Thank you, Thank you.
Awesome Brenda . Glad you enjoyed it . Thanks for watching ☮️

From Austin to Ely is my favorite stretch. The most beautiful drive I’ve ever been on, and most peaceful.
I love your lonely highway! Of course from the safety of my house!!!! Stay safe and thank you for your videos!
Wow, that's a real Southern American Gals name!, sorry I'm in Newzealand Lol
Lonely, but beautiful.
This was the first time I saw your video on Highway 50 in 2019. I really like all of your videos.
I used to haul corn to a ranch at Baker NV. it was called Baker Ranch . You can see it from Hiway 50 straight east of Baker about a mile.I hauled it from Greeley Co.
Did you ever get a chance to visit the cave above the town of Baker.
I would love to drive this route but my biggest nightmare would be breaking down, in the middle of the night.
Just take lots of food, water and warm blankets with you. By the morning when it's light someone will pass and you can flag them down. 50 is quiet but someone will eventually pass by.

Nightmare always happens at night in your sleep 😁
You filmed this video on my birthday. Stay safe driver. Absolutely beautiful driver that view of the mountain range. He loves that caddy.
Your becoming sleepy on that road is called “ highway hypnosis “
Happens a lot on long open stretches ..
What a wonderful place to see. Thanks for taking me along.

Thanks for calling out where you are, it allows me to track on google map your path!
I drove my semi all the way from Idaho Falls to Las Vegas on Hwy 93, just as lonely and scary in the night time, too many narrows and curves, I was glad when it was over, don't want to do it again though!
I used to drive from Boise to Vegas 84/93/6/93. Wasn’t a semi, but I loved being so alone for 9-10 hours. I love Nevada.
Makes me homesick.
The first time I went through Austin Nevada was 1981 and it stuck with me because the way it's built on the side of the highway the last time I went through that town was 93 thanks for the ride along
Just found your channel and WOW! So much fun riding shotgun!! Love seeing all these places I could never get to in person! Great job!! God bless!
Thank you Amy.. and thanks for watching ☮️
Me too
Make that me too as well.
One of the best videos I have seen so far from you. Gorgeous scenary. Thanks for sharing this video.
Good old hiway 50 enjoyed it as much as the last time. Seems like a good smooth road, not too many rough spots. Scenery is certainly beautiful. Hope you have a safe trip rest of the way. Thank you for the ride. Edward
Enjoy to watch that, so beautiful snowy mountains. Beautiful long straight roads, so amazing loneliness
I've done this on a motorcycle...the open range and cattle made it no problem to not doze off...
Don't wanna end up like superman!
Beautiful drive. I love desert scenery, but mesmerizing to put one to sleep.
Absolutely.. have to slap myself awake a few times.. lol
OMG middle ‘o nowhere! Beautiful!
Middle of nowhere works for me every time. I'll be in Nevada and Arizona in about a week for camping/kayaking fun !! My 13th year of paid retirement.....Awesome!!

Right on Two B.. thank you and thanks for watching ☮️
It would be interesting to know the stories of the people who own the land and occasional homes/ranches you passed on this route.
Went cross country from Klamath falls to Winnemucca once, that’s pretty desolate road too. Your video reminded me of that.👍
Drove 50 from Carson City to Ely. Beautiful country.
Thanks for the video. :)

Great video, thank you very much.

Too beautiful to doze off. Thanks for your free ride!
Anytime Sungsook and thanks for watching ☮️
thanks sr noce video good job and good luck
An wonderful road trip of amazing Father and Son.
Love the mountains and the desert.
A driver once told me his secret to stay awake safely when he felt drowsy was to chug a warm coke
The urge to pee will keep you awake all right.
Whenever you get drowsy stop an take a dump! you feel like a killion afterward!
Beautiful area! Great video!
Watching this video from india. Take care man. Good luck
love it. so wonderful!
We drove from fallon to las vagas twice in last 4 years .. it felt like this hwy was built only for me.🙂💖
Love it. 💗💗💗 Just awesome
