Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #448
Date of Adventure: 7/10/20
I was trying to social distance out in the field, but when the weekend rolled around it seemed like there were people EVERYWHERE! So I headed for the one place I figured I'd find desolation: U.S. Highway 50, a/k/a The Loneliest Road in America! This stretch of highway runs through some of the most sparsely populated parts of the West, and is said to be one of the most desolate areas in the United States. Is it just marketing hype? Come with me and find out!

I enjoy your videos very much. I just watched your Highway 50 series. It brought back memories of my bicycle trip in 2007 from San Francisco to the center of Kansas. I peddled Route 50 from Carson City to Baker Utah. It was tough and Hot. I note you didn't mention the lonelyest Payphone in America. It's or was located on Rt 50 just outside of Sand Mountain, before Middlegate. Middlegate was in full operation. The Motel and Restaurant, had a lot of folks there the night I stayed. I describe it as Cheers (the TV Show) cowboy style. Some real characters. Thank You for you videos.

@19:45 - speaking of suggestions, one You Tuber, RVer TV, has a drone. He stops frequently to give a "bird's eye view." Having one would help you (and us) get some idea of the places that you can't (or don't want to) access from the road. Thus, a ruin off the beaten track, could be shown with drone footage. Again, just a suggestion !😉
