Its been a lonely ride for about 150 years from Pony to pavement

[Fibonacci]

U.S. Route 50, which bisects the state of Nevada, has been called America's most lonely road. Following a trail first blazed by the Pony Express, this two lane ribbon of pavement traverses the shimmering, barren Great Basin, the bed of a vast lake that covered central Nevada as recently as 7000 years ago. For almost 400 miles, the road flirts with an endless series of sun-blasted mountain ranges and salt plains. Three small towns that hug the roadside are the only oases of civilization in the otherwise vast, unadulterated emptiness.
