US 50 is a good road. Try to travel during the day as it is not fenced and cattle can be on the road at night. Gas and diesel is available but fill up before night as Eureka and Austin are very small towns that essentially close up at night. Fallon is about 250 miles west of Ely and has 24 hour fuel. For marketing purposes US 50 has been named 'the lonliest road' but recently there is traffic and it is also the cross state bicycle route. It is not all that lonely anymore. Fifteen or twenty years ago it was possible to see as few as three cars on US 50 outside of the towns between the Utah border and Fallon on US 50, a distance of over 300 miles; not so today.
