Today I went for a drive out across the Great Basin Desert on US 50 which is know as the loneliest highway in America. Once you get west of Delta, Utah it sure is true. From Delta to Fallon Nevada this is pretty much the view. In the summer the sun bakes the desert. In the winter it is bitter cold. For some reason I love these empty spaces.

Some high power lines that stretch across the desert.
