You might be right. I haven't driven U.S. 50, but from the videos I've seen there's more traffic on U.S. 50 than on U.S. 6.

I've driven that stretch of 6 just once but 50 through Nevada about a dozen times. 6 had nobody in comparison. Now I do 15 and head North at Barstow. Or at least I did until my Parents in San Jose both passed within a couple years of each other.
Not to mention driving I80 through Nevada numerous times from even before the interstate bypassed all the towns.
And Tonopah is creepy as hell too
I haven't been there in a while but there were a couple places off I80 between Salt Lake City and Wendover that had to have been the inspiration for The hills have eyes. They made Tonopah look like a ritzy day spa.

I did that in the early 1970's when I was stationed on the USS Ranger at Alameda and drove to the parents house in Wisconsin. It was mostly 4 lane (2 each way) until you got to a town, then city street with stoplights. I did like the sign on the way out of town that said...……………….. End Speed Zone.
Nothing to add, but I think this needs to be in here somewhere.....

Even my Dad was annoyed when the Nixon era 55 MPH national speed limit ruined that drive.

Yeah. I miss those days before the 55mph bullshit was instituted.

Thanks. :D There are lots of small towns out in that area that are very sketchy.
