(Podcast) The Loneliest Highway in America Across Nevada’s Great Basin - Don’t Miss This!

See this content in the original post

Season 1 Episode 12: We're diving into and across Nevada on "America's Loneliest Road." AAA was once quoted saying, "we warn all motorists not to drive there, unless they're confident of their survival skills." So, let's go! We find long stretches, lots of mountain passes, great camping, history, petroglyphs, incredible stars, and even some ties back to our home-state of Missouri.

In this episode, we definitely geek-out on the history, but we find a wonderful reprieve of camping at Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area (BLM) after the busy bustle of Lake Tahoe. Taking time and soaking in the frontier of US-50, "The Backbone of America," allows a visitor to come away with much more than a badge of "I drove that": there's a whole other way of life and rootedness to the people, places, and wildness that exists along the way.
