We were on US 95 headed to Idaho and we missed our turn in Fallon Nevada. US 95 takes a left turn in downtown Fallon and we missed it and got on the "Loneliest Road" and it was getting dark. We kept driving along and something was just off. We started seeing Jackalopes along the road and it was getting colder and colder. Finally after about 50 miles there was an elevation sign, 4000 feet!!! This was all wrong and there was no gas station in sight and we were low on gas. Now it was getting kinda scary. We finally saw a sign and found a gas station in the dark. It was the only thing lit up in the dark. An Indian lady who was working the cash register smiled and said, "I guess you are lost". She said she got a lot of lost people who missed their turn. We were just relieved to get some gas. She said go north to Battle Mountain and you can go back to your highway. We thanked her and headed north. Lesson learned: Don't forget to turn left in Fallon on US 95. It will get real weird if you don't! We will never forget our experience on the Loneliest Highway but we are richer for the adventure and experience!

Sand Mountain is where I grew up camping, riding quads and sand buggies. Trying to race one of my brothers up the face of the hill and being scared out of my mind! We used to try to dig to China we would spend hours digging. Spent many Easters hunting for eggs in the sand, and tons of Halloweens going around to campers for candy and then partying as adults singing and dancing late into the night under the beautiful stars. Or going night riding and getting stuck lol! It's an absolutely unique and incredible work of nature and I miss it oh so much! Thanks for sharing

@Dave-zj1zj Год назад

that's what we, in western Michigan, call "Walking Dunes", as the wind "moves" the sand in the direction of the wind

@richardbeee Год назад

I used to work all over NV and grew quite fond of that "loneliest" road. Working as a consultant for the mining industry took me even further back in them thar hills. Always enjoyed it, simple precautions make the trip much more worry free. Legend has it that those circles drawn out on those petroglyphs were actually a native Americans depiction of that lake drying up. Great trip. Like you said:"So much history." See you on the next one.

@desertrose9499 Год назад

Yay! Had to watch this morning before I left the house.

You missed the Pony Express ruins just off the Sand Mountain entrance road. I was sure you would include it. Great video as usual though. Keep them coming RVer man!

Happy Trails , United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. We Love RVerTV - Grand Journey Thru U.S.A. - Grand Videos - Grand Music. 38,000, 000 Canadians Need RVerTV Eh. Russ TOO COOL 4 SCHOOL.😊

@WaskiSquirrel Год назад

I think the most telling detail for me was the bar/restaurant that used a diesel generator for power. That's definitely isolation! The petroglyphs were very cool, and I'm thrilled that no one has damaged them. I want to visit this place among many others when I replace my current vehicle with something newer. I love my 22-year-old car, but there are limits to where I can trust it. Thank you for showing me what I'm missing in the meantime!

@zoltankaparthy9095 Год назад

I'll be travelling the road in a month. I'll do a few Ely > Fallon > Ely daily loops to see the sights and photographs what I can. I have been on that road off and on since '82. It is a great ride.

@berniedickey9919 Год назад

We live in Fallon, thanks for the video, you have no idea how many rvs they can pack in at Sand Mountain. Don't go on a holiday weekend, it's packed!

@milehighkit4725 Год назад

First light and Russ is on the road. I can tell by that extremely long shadow the van cast 🙂

Wow! That shadow is so cool! 🚐

@scottrichardson6226 Год назад

I was there in summer of '74 hoping to see some hang gliders, burned my feet on the super hot sand and never made it to the sand mountain as it was still so far away and huge! Amazing place! Nearly got the RV stuck in the sand but made it out.

Another great video. Never get tired of seeing the sand dunes desert season around the corner will be crowded and loud. Petroglyphs were also way the Indians communicated from what I've read. Thanks again.

I pass fairly close by going between The Dalles Or and Quartzite and Wellton AZ, traveling with atv’s. I was thinking I’d like to stop there.

@yawndave Год назад

It's not so lonely on Hwy 50 when you have Russ as a tour guide! You got to Sand Mountain at the perfect time--before the OHVs started buzzing all over and right as the sun started hitting the top of the dune. By the way, if you like petroglyphs, the Ridgecrest Petroglyph Festival is happening the 5th and 6th of November. Besides the festival there are some neat things to see in the area like the Trona Pinnacles. Happy Trails!

@kathleenporter2235 Год назад

That's cool 😎

@lmcwill0502 Год назад

I live in FL and I would give anything to be on the loneliest road in America. Takes 25 min to go 5 mi if you are lucky ,it's bumper to bumper traffic with plenty of of lights and the interstates have become suicidal in FL. Have fun, safe travels.

@toddmccowen8206 Год назад

i Heard snakes out there get in the frame of VANS and when yr driving they come out in the passageener seats to see where they are going .LOL

I like the cave where the natives used to store their duck decoys and fishing gear in holes in the cave floor so that they would not have to carry these tools when they left the area.

I love the Grimes Point site.

@LostOnLandAgain Год назад

Sand Mountain looks like a cool place to camp, but you are right. You'd have sand everywhere in no time but the stars at night would surely be worth it.

@lindahoudek9855 Год назад

Thanks Russ for taking us on the "Loneliest Road in America", "Lincoln Hwy 50". For stopping and visiting the sights and of course the drone flights.

@kenuber4766 Год назад

Fallon is home to NAS Fallon. Home to "Top Gun". They have a huge bombing range there. You can stop out there and watch them do there thing while watching along Hwy 50.

@davec9244 Год назад

thanks for the little side trips very cool ALL stay safe

@walterbright1396 Год назад

Thanks. Haven’t been there for 20 years. I was disappointed cause prior to doing “The Loneliest Road” I did Route 6 pulling a travel trailer Coming from Mono Lake to Utah in 1985. I remember watching a jet vapor trails from horizon to horizon for 40 minutes. Assuming they were going about 525 mph, that’s about 350 mile visibility horizon to horizon without a single car passing me for those 40 minutes. Going to do it again next year and I probably will find the traffic has grown in the past 37years along that stretch by a lot. I know where I live traffic has grown plenty.

@FlourishingLove Год назад

That was awesome. I would never have expected that sand dune mountain to be there. So glad that they preserve the petroglyphs and make a place where people can see them, in their original locations. Thanks Russ!

@sunandsage Год назад

Thanks for showing me what Grimes point's all about. I'll have to check that out next time I'm through there. I used to live in Reno so I knew about Sand Mountain but I didn't know that it had such a big camping area.

@lindawoody8501 Год назад

I love that you showed the petroglyphs! So interesting. Gee, that Sand Mountain was great too. A really nice couple of stops. Thanks for the virtual tour.

@stephbrandenburg9957 Год назад

That sand hill was old school training.. 20 laps up and down that .. be in top shape! Beautiful find at Grimes point. I’d probably wait for signal from boys scouts say it was clear of snakes. Maybe vendors have chicken fried steaks?!

@dgsantafedave1 Год назад

Russ you should see the view at the top of the mountain on Halloween! There are about 10 to 20 thousand people camped down a the base with all the LED lights it is so cool! I heard that Steven King got his inspiration for Desolation by staying at Middlegate for a week! Great Video if you get a chance stop and take a look at the Gigi factory in Sparks that is quite a site!

@DreamCather147 Год назад

I am amazed how they built a road in an isolated place like that.

Nice drone shots! Watch out for them there Rattlers!

@kimberlyshalaby1134 Год назад

I find the Petroglyphs interesting. I noticed the cracks in the rock too when you mentioned it. I guess the weather, sand blowing against the petroglyph aides with fading them some. I'm glad you stopped to see them. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Good to see you live! The beach scene was welcoming!😊

@richardl.7390 Год назад

Northern Nevada is something of a "Mineral Country" ... I'm sure you would like exploring the "MALPAIS", east of Gallup and south of Grants, New Mexico along Interstate-40. There are immense lavafields that cooled eons ago but the Spaniards could not cultivate these areas or raise cattle, so they called it "Malpais" (Good for nothing country). Nice documentary, as usual Sir. RICHARD

A very interesting trip you took across Nevada. Good time of year to be on the road there, not to hot and no cold weather either. Did you know that Nevada has more mtn ranges than any other state. Nevada also has 360 + hot springs in the state, Being in the Great Basin, only a handful of rivers leave the state and reach the Pacific Ocean. The rest end up in a lake or a playa (sink). Lots of water underground in Nevada. Really enjoy your videos.

@davidmacek2354 Год назад

Whoever would have thought that tagging of rocks would have taken place over 2000 years ago. lol

@susanboatman7913 Год назад

Hi Russ! It reminds me of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan on the Shores of Lake Michigan. It is 111 sq miles.

@goodoakpress Год назад

It reminds me of White Sands, New Mexico, but a much smaller version.

@bambamrv8287 Год назад

The Naval base is to the SW, but that entire area is the training area, for new jet engine Officers, and other special training units

@dwightmagnuson4298 Год назад

I'm surprised that the Middlegate owners haven't converted to solar electrical power & hot water.... That entire area would be a terrific collector...

@kerryjacobson5465 Год назад

Awesome video, Russ! In regards to the petroglyphs, a lot of the dating of them, is guesswork. People that do this, carbon date things they find at dig sites, and go from there. There is a lot involved. In your previous video(Wendover) in the surrounding area, Archeologists believe there were people living around there over 13,000 years ago! Particularly at Hogup Cave! The Great Basin has a very long and ancient history! Thanks for the tour!

@mikeroads4807 Год назад

I can't believe that you passed up Dixie Valley right at the nevada sign that you stopped at. It was the bombing range and occasionally still is. So many tanks and trucks to explore. You missed it to go to the giant cat box!
