That highway 50 going from tahoe to denver looks just like that.
Good scenery but not much help along the way if you needed any. My dad had a few gallons of gasoline inside them red canister and had it in his trunk. I thought he was nuts but turns out we needed to use it cuz we miscalculated the distance from one gas pump to the next. Plus it was a night time driving so gas stations in the boonies are usually closed. I was so happy to see a chevron, the only chevron in town and I just so happened to have a chevron gas card. No need teller when closed. Just pay at the pump and go.
Hit a deer along the way and the car was damaged big time. By the time we got to denver car rental station, the rep already knew it. Had deer juices all over the hood and what not. Got out next car and off we go on our trip.
Took hwy 80 home for safe keeping
