Subject:      route 50

I drove route 50 from Reno to Great Basin NP back in '90 when my Westy was
brand new. I still consider it one of the greatest roads to travel and am
looking forward to doing it again. It's been awhile but I can't recall ever
having to stop for gas and I sure didn't take any extra along.


I'd encourage everyone to stick to route 80. Let's leave 50 The Loneliest
Road in America for those of us who still like such things. Great Basin is
a neat place to visit. The hike up Wheeler is worth the stop-over. Lehman
Caves are so-so; if you have a choice, skip them and do Wheeler.
