uggh, i came thrugh Reno when I drove back to OH from SF. Not sure if i was on the same hiway ur talking about, but the whole state was sketch. Utah and Nevada made me really uncomfortable. Salt Lake city was cool but all that land in between is like the land of the lost. I saw towns along the high ways that looked completely empty....and there was absolutely no exit for them. So this major high way comes right past your town but theres absolutely no way for anybody to get to you. I drove like 45 minutes to an hour before i saw an exit that "maybe" you could have taken back to that town. Really fucking weird. Reno was a shit hole but I figured it would be. My friend wanted to gamble so i was like fine, couldn't get out of there fast enough. Some of the motels i stayed at between California and Colorado were seriusly like something out of U-turn or the hills movies. Like you're propping a chair at night against the doorknob.
