Most of the other routes for the OP (other than 101 or 5) take you through some of the most remote country in the lower 48. One of the routes Google picks goes up the ET Highway (93) out of Vegas. That is probably the one you would find me taking. You could drive for hours on that road and not see a single other person. Last trip I took through Nevada was going eastbound to Utah and I took Highway 6. I was all alone for an hour or more at a time and there was zero cell phone coverage. I recall driving along being glad I had the toad just in case something happened, then all the sudden it dawned on my that the low fuel light was on in the toad when I hooked it up and I meant to stop and fill the tank before I got into the back country. I wasn't worried at all until I remembered that, then I started getting a little nervous about being out there.
That is the way it was in all of America not so long ago. Funny how we survived that. :)
I think lots of people didn't survive that. That desert claimed a lot of lives back in the day of people trying to cross it.
