On your way down I'd recommend an overnight in Ely NV for fuel and any stocking up you need to do. Check out the town, was pretty nice and friendly when I was last there.

Make sure you get your "glory" pics under the highway signs. Fun to show friends that you really were on the Extraterrestrial Hwy. I hope the signs are still there.
Regardless of the food a stop in Rachel is a must. Enjoy it, get some food and shakes. Check out the Area 51 stuff and don't forget your Alien drivers license! lol Pay attention to all the signs, inside and out and have your cameras ready for some silly fun shots.
I hope to be out that way again in a year or two. Always try to camp out there and sit out nights wondering what the heck that thing flying really is?
