The Loneliest Road In America :: Nov 14 ’16
As it crosses the awesome, spectacular basin and range country of Nevada, old US Highway 50 is known as “The Loneliest Road In America.” Here’s what it looked like on a post-election Monday afternoon in the off-season, roaring the 150 miles from Ely to Austin. Pardon me while I contact the Nevada Board of Tourism with some unpleasant news…
But thankfully they’re waiting for you in Austin at the International Cafe. And when the immigrants have been sent home, the road will be lonely once more, the jobs will come back, and American will be truly great again, am I right people?
PS: Looking for a lonely road? Try Nevada Hwy 722 from Austin to Gabbs, or South Dakota Hwy 34 from Volga to Blunt, or New Mexico Hwy 246 from Roswell to Capitan. Or better still, New Mexico Hwy 55 from Ancho through Claunch and Gran Quivera up to Mountainair. Now that’s what I call lonely.
