Hutch,
I know it's a little south of you, but I seem to recall seeing somewhere that U.S. 50 across Nevada was voted "Loneliest Highway in America."

By the way, you mentioned Romney Marshes, and I know you;re interested in steam. Did you ever ride the R.H.D.R. narrow gauge railway? I used to go down there when I was about 10 or 11 and loved it! [Linked Image]
