For those of you who like getting away from it all, check this out:https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/least-traffic-roads-usa
The article is based on data from this site: https://www.geotab.com/americas-quietest-routes/, which also includes a list of the most scenic lonely roads.
In California it’s 139 from Susanville to the OR border. I’ve ridden part of that one.
US 50 doesn’t make the top 10 in terms of low traffic, but it does make the top 10 most scenic in the geotab list.
Last time I rode it was 2009. There were a bunch of wild fires down in LA with a southerly blowing it all straight up into NV, so the whole ride was a bit milky. Still pretty cool though - no one out there. And we saw the shoe tree before some SFB cut it down.
