I know it is a lonely road but how safe will it be? We have good vehicle and tires on everything. Leaving next May and I think the temps are around 85. 2013 3500 Cummins 6.7 Quadcab 4x4 3.73 68FE Trans, 2007 HitchHiker Discover America 329 RSB We love our Westie Cptnvideo • View posts Arizona - most of the time Senior Member Joined: 11/05/2006 View Profile Online Posted: 11/23/22 03:24pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator The road is fine, just a little lonely.

Be sure to have enough gas. I stayed at New Frontier Campground when I took that route. Recommend it.

Nevada is the most rural state. Outside of Reno and LV there there is not much out there. You have to adjust your thinking. Even for a day trip, carry several gallons of water, a couple of sleeping bags, some food. Keep your fuel tank at least half full at all times. * This post was edited 11/28/22 09:29am by ppine * BarabooBob • View posts Baraboo, WI Senior Member Joined: 12/28/2015 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 11/24/22 04:36pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Whenever I travel in sparcely populated areas, I always carry 5 gallons of gasoline, extra water and food, and enough blankets or sleeping bags for COLD weather. You can't be overprepared. We have helped other families out with food and water on more than one occasion. Last time we were going in Pahrump, we stopped to see what we could do to help out a young man with the hood open on his truck. He had been there for over an hour and nobody stopped. All he needed was a couple of gallons of water for his truck. We followed him into Pahrump to make sure he made it.

Continuing on US95 to I80 may be a bit longer, but stays closer to civilization. It may also have better gas choices. I have passed through Tonopah, but in a East-west direction, from Caliente to Big Pine. Tonopah was a welcome gas stop since there wasn't much of an alternative in the 200 miles from Caliente. The most direct route through Austin doesn't look too bad - gas wise. The Champs gas station appears to be an important stop for US50 travelers. It closes at 9 (according to GM), and even has a EV charging station. I just watched a vlog of a world traveler passing through Austin on US50. Looks like more of a historic mountain town than I first realized. With some history, gem shops, and such. * This post was last edited 11/28/22 10:48am by paulj *   View edit history Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Open Roads Forum  >  Roads and Routes  > Pahrump to Winnemucca
