Why do I post this? I post it as a warning, a lesson, and good advice. Ok already, I know you are a very good driver, able to do 100 miles an hour on the I-10. That’s OK by me, but driving in Nevada is not like that. As long as you are on the I-15, then OK. Here is the situation. Nevada Highways are consistently ranked as the best in the U.S. I totally agree. I can say that because I have been driving them for fifty years, yes, including the infamous I-50, the loneliest road in the U.S. Take a look at the Nevada map, how many highways do you see? That’s right, there are very few. All other roads are either state routes or dirt routes. The minute you get off the main road, and I would advise you not to do that, unless you are familiar with desert driving, you need to take precautions. Always carry water, that is number one. Make sure your vehicle is in, not just good, but excellent condition. Do not take any dirt roads, or roads you have not researched, or roads that have been hit by recent flash floods. Stay away from driving in the summer altogether. It is just too hot out there. Forget your cell phone. There are no cell towers except for a few along the main highways. Should you take a dirt road , you should always carry tools and spare part. A battery charger, spare tire, some belts shovel come to mind. Let people know where you are going, and your return date. Remember, should you get stranded out in the desert, you will be on your own. There is no help, because there is no other traffic, there are no tow trucks that will help you. A county the size of Rhode Island may have only one sheriff patrolling it. A single county, Lincoln county for example, takes three days to drive around. Nevada is open range country, there are no fences except along the interstates. wild horses, deer, cattle roam at will. In other words, do not drive at night at all. Let me give you a warning here how dangerous it could be. We had a case a few years back where this lady turned off the I-15 and got stuck less than a mile off the road. No one noticed, no one saw her. She died less than a mile off the road. True story.
