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

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.

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!

[WaskiSquirrel]

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!

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.

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

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

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

[nancycain]

Love the drone shots. Beautiful with the sun shining on the Mt. Thanks Russ, safe travels.

[berniedickey]

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!

[ksr]

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.

[BrendaHaltom-csck]

Wow Russ? This drive was great on Hyw 50. Across Nevada! Thank you!🐗😀🚙🇺🇸

[chrisconley]

Great informative exploring, cool footage, nice music, pertinent narration without unnecessary fluff or drama, just perfect road trip inspiration. Thank you

[lindawoody]

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.

[FlourishingLove]

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!

[Half.Throttle.adventures.]

I just spent 2 nights at sand mountain last weekend rode dirt bikes out to middlegate found some tanks out in the desert

[jimandsniffers]
