The Loneliest Road In America US 50

[@chuckbayman]

Thanks for taking me along on your journey.another wonderful video

[@johnrita]

Nothing like a Monster Burger.. Burgers are our favorite when we're on a road trip

[@sucaron6736]

Did that same stretch of road twice from Reno to Snowmass Village CO ... VERY isolated but spectacular scenic views👍 Love to tag along with you guys on this one !

[@miriambryant1896]

Thank you!

[@franks4386]

As to your comment "been sampling mexican food all over", so I am sure thats not hard in the southwest but ala Marisa Tomei in My cousin Vinny, hows the chinese food? LOL Another great video! And Nancy gives two big thumbs up to Miriam for the spa day!!

[@leshemingway3352]

Awesome video. I have been on 50 and yes it is a long flat drive not many cars on that road and you best make sure the tank is full. Thank you for sharing

[@eddcurry1245]

Interesting historical tidbits.

[@ACE-or8bo]

i can't wait to ride US 50

[@rayhjohnson]

Those guys you were talking to need a burger. Very boney. Hope you get past Highway 50. Looking forward to the next video. Be safe.

[@drkennedy611]

I have been loving your trip, thanks for the videos!

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good video guys thanks for taking us along on the ride enjoyed watching take care have a great week

[@RipstopNightfire]

Thank you so much for showing the inside of the Austin courthouse. Especially the old pot-belly stove. Some fairly significant family history went down there and I've only been able to see it in person years ago when I was a child.

[@miriambryant1896]

Glad to be of service! So glad you are watching

[@RipstopNightfire]

@@miriambryant1896 I am enjoying it so much!

[@bubbajeph]

I did I 80 Calvin across myself but the last three weeks I’ve been in the hospital here in Hampton so come home quick be safe sure do miss your next video

[@miriambryant1896]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@billwilliams9527]

East bound and down, music from Smokey and the Bandit. Interesting journey, thanks for sharing. You were on the road how many days? So john, what did the skeleton say??? 🙂

[@miriambryant1896]

The skeleton didn’t have a chance to get a word in edgewise! 61 days total…37 ride days.

[@billwilliams9527]

Now that’s funny right there. Kudos on a great journey.

[@Dulcilicia]

Nice report. The ideal would be to be able to do that route, but at least thanks to these videos we can see them. A greeting from Spain

[@spyderingwithdandenise7064]

I was in court once, in uniform, and the Judge started laying into me about not being prepared. The prosecution was talking about a Trooper, who wasn't there, asking for an extension. The Judge thought I was the Trooper. He took a break right after. A bit latter I was standing in the back hall by the Judges chamber. He came out and approached me saying he has to remain impartial and didn't want anyone to think he showed any favor. Then he says you don't look to upset. As tactfully as possible I told him I wasn't the Trooper asking for the extension. He asked why i didn't correct him. My reply "It will be a cold day in hell before I ever correct a Judge in his courtroom". Sorry for the rant but it was the first thing that came to mind when you were talking about removing your hat. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure and being so entertaining!

[@stoney3398]

Too many familiar things in this video: 1. The Hilton Garden Inn you stayed at is about a mile from my brother’s house. 2. Fallon NAS was the last base that my son was stationed at (about 2008). 3. I actually had the monster burger at Middlegate Station on a club ride in 2016, riding in the opposite direction, from Ely to Carson City. The place was fantastic, and incredibly crowded! One last note, on the way to Ely we took US 6, which from Tonopah onward was actually much lonelier than US 50! A mere 169 miles with zero gas stations, if my memory serves me correct. Or anything else, for that matter! The ride was in late May, and the desert was amazingly green, with tons of wildflowers, and snow-capped mountains. I was shocked!

[@miriambryant1896]

Oh wow! Would have loved to see the desert in the spring.

[@HetteshWorld]

Miriam, you tempted me a spa day and I think that was it here. Cracking me up. It took us about 2 months to adjust to being at a higher elevation. I have no idea what's going to happen when we go back to normal. It was super exciting seeing the top gun area from the air. I love the details. I will share we saw Tom Cruise once when they were making Rainman out by her house with Dustin Hoffman. I'll have to tell you the story later. I love the drone footage. . Miriam looks happier eating the hamburger then the camp food lol. Great video guys!

[@theSMYRNAcowboy]

I think I would be so scared of riding that log a distance in the desert. Great footage and that monster burger looked yummy.

[@jeffreysims1865]

Did you guys color coordinate tee shirts today? 😂

[@Partzman23]

Hey John & Miriam, another entertaining video. Interesting history of US route 50 did not know that. I can see why they call it the loneliest road with all that view of nothingness. Lol That burger from the food truck looked good ! I’m sure it was better than a meal from a pouch. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Ryde safe and God Bless Artie & Tracy

[@ronjohns458]

I agree about the food in Santa Rosa. Over the years, I have spent a lot of time there. However, you didn't even eat at the best restaurant. Try to imagine how good the best food there tastes.

[@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog]

So you gona hook a brother up and give us the name of the good one?

[@ronjohns458]

@@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog Could be either Joseph's Bar and Grill or Comet II Restaurant. The Comet was a true 50's style drive-in with servers on roller skates, the whole experience. But it burned down and he rebuilt it as a nice, modern building. It lost most of its charm, but, luckily, the food remained the same.

[@DBarnim]

That is some real flat straight line driving. How do you keep from snoozing while driving?

[@JohnMiriamsTravelVlog]

Well, its so new to us, I was kinda "Gobsturck" by it all.

[@johnlenart597]

Missed U S 50 years ago so I'm glad you're including me as a virtual passenger. All my videos double in time because I follow your rides with the Rand McNally., one each in my favorite reading rooms. Hopefully you enjoyed your trip as much as I am as a viewer. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋‍♂️

[@Dulcilicia]

It is a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@williamtrenary263]

Morning travelers. I'd heard that some parts of 50 was quite lonesome but never ever saw it until now. The parts of 50 that I know is somewhat different as you might expect especially in west va. For sure a snake laid that out. Questio, is labor day meet up still on? Need to know so we can plan for it . Love the shots across america.its still a country worth fighting for. Later.

[@miriambryant1896]

Yes, Labor Day meetup is on. Lodge is booked up. Pub meetup Friday at 5 pm. Saturday ride 10 am. Hope to see you

[@williamtrenary263]

Ok then will plan for Saturday the third. I'll bet it is booked.

[@DFWMoose]

Interesting. I had been on US50 once when I was very young. Beautiful but desolate. What MPG with the trailer do you typically get? Thx for sharing.

[@miriambryant1896]

About 36 mpg two up with the trailer. Not bad

[@DFWMoose]

@@miriambryant1896 thx

[@billzemina9057]

I am doing your Hwy 50 leg in reverse after Labor Day. Did you have an issues finding Premium gas? Thanks for the tip on the " monster burger."

[@miriambryant1896]

Not really…only had two occasions when we couldn’t get premium…one in OK and Middlegate.

[@spyderingwithdandenise7064]

Glad to see that negative comment, for no good reason, was removed. I was disappointed I could only thumb down once. I watched this one a second time just to make sure I didn't miss something. Are you going to do another get together up on Skyline Drive this fall?

[@miriambryant1896]

We are still meeting up at Shenandoah NP over Labor Day weekend. The Big Meadows Lodge is fully booked now, however. We’ll be gathering at 10 am Saturday for a group ride. Swapping tales in the pub at 5 pm Friday. Email us if you think you can join in.
