    I drove Highway 50 home to Utah on a trip from California in a Jaguar. Cruised at 90+ a good ways, the only cops we saw were in Ely. Beautiful drive. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

    Enjoyed it Jeff, hearing that sweet 55 and seeing the sights, it was a good time. Vanishing Point was awesome too, I was 16 when it came out, the muscle car era was surrounding me, but I did not have enough income to participate. Colorado and Kansas are interesting along 50 as well.

      Don't forget the Utah section - it's amazing too.

    Just found your channel. Used to enjoy your road trip posts on the HAMB before they booted you because your car was too "modern".
    I live about an hour south east of Lake Tahoe and have family in Colorado so I take highway 50 a lot. I-80 is the faster way to go but I love the charm highway 50 has and prefer the empty roads.
    You should of tried the Monster Burger at Middlegate!
    Speaking of Vanishing Point, have to gone to Cisco, UT? Also, the Goldfield Hotel on 95 south where Super Soul broadcasted from?

      I love old Highway 50 too!! The Middlegate Station is awesome right?!?
      Now I've got an excuse to go back and try one of their burgers - thanks!!
      I've been to Cisco a bunch but never to Goldfield - it's been on my list for awhile. Thanks again!!
