rashore Posted August 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Quote Meandering straight across the continental United states, from San Francisco, California, to Teaneck, New Jersey is the vast Interstate 80, also called simply I-80. Constructed between the years of 1956 to 1986, and sprawled out over 2,902 miles of historic travel routes, I-80 is one of the most ambitious highway projects ever attempted in the country. It is also perhaps one of the most vital, an artery through the country along which countless travelers and truckers surge day in and day out. One portion of this major road cuts through the northern part of the state of Nevada, and this expanse cuts through some of the most unforgiving and lifeless wasteland in the United States, with long stretches populated by little more than desert scrub and tumbleweeds. Here one can travel hundreds of miles without seeing any sign of human life, and at night it turns into a black expanse of oblivion, which has all earned this particular stretch of highway the nickname “The Big Lonely.” It is here along this swath of barren badlands that an untold number of hapless travelers have made their last journeys, vanishing off the face of the earth in one of the bleakest places in the country. http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/08/strange-disappearances-on-the-highway-of-death/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer77 Posted August 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I had no idea of that roads reputation. We drove from Sac to Reno on the 80 at night and that stretch of road truly had an ominous , heavy feel to it. Could have been the 6 deer per square yard that we drove past but still it was not a pleasant stretch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
