From Road Trip USA quoting Blue Highway author William Least Heat-Moon: "for the unhurried, this little-known highway is the best national road across the middle of the United States." The route offers such a compelling cross-section of the nation that Time magazine devoted nearly an entire issue to telling the story of the road it called the "Backbone of America".
Of course there was also the version from Life Magazine- In July 1986, Life magazine published an article that gave US 50 in Nevada the name "The Loneliest Road in America". The article portrayed the highway, and rural Nevada, as a place devoid of civilization.
Beginning July 27 we will see who is correct : )
