2. That was fun. Thanks.

I only rode along as far as Eureka, but it was worth it.

3. It's a great ride!

I do it a lot. I cruise from Sacramento to Ely, with eating stops in either Austin or Eureka. I usually stay overnight in Ely, which is actually a decent size town.

I also usually find lots of bikers out there. And also north toward Elko, which is actually also a decent size town.

14. My dad was born in Ely in 1914. White Pine High School, then Cal on a football scholarship.

I went through in the mid 70's and it was small then--over 4000 now huh?
He said it was exceedingly boring as a high school kid.
Grandfather was a foreman at the Kennecott Copper Mill.

4. I've ridden it from Kansas to California, pretty boring at times and hot in a VW.

10. I've been wanting to take a train ride like that for years

I'm just not sure I'm brave enough to do it by myself.

11. Best trip video of a great journey

Driven this road many times from Colorado to SF. Last time was a April spring trip and I was amazed by all the families on bikes. Passed little groups with children and gear all along the way.
I'll have to watch full video to see if they found my favorite hot spring.

13. Have spent many an hour on US 50, One thing that amuses me is a naval base in the

desert.

15. If you do this road trip, be sure to do a side trip to Great Basin National Park

It's near the Nevada-Utah state line, a few miles off Route 50 down Route 487. Be sure to tour Lehman's Caves, they are spectacular! Also, drive up to Bristlecone. The scenery is awesome!
