"Where transcontinental US-50 crosses the midriff of Nevada, it has earned the title of the Lonliest Road in America. Actually it isn't. Some roads that feed into it are lonelier still. But it's lonely enough. Dipping into the immense valleys of the Great Basin, you often see its two lanes shrinking into a pencil-thin line more than a dozen miles ahead -- and there's not another car in site."

-- Better Homes and Gardens, May 1994

East the wind blows,
Yet West the man goes.
His journey mirrors his life.

Dawn brightly grows,
'til night finally shows;
Times of pleasure and strife.

-- January, 1995

"US Route 50 is a quiet, two-lane highway which just happens to run through my home town. One of my best friends, Chuck Algeo, and I had planned to drive Route 50 its entire length from Washington DC to Sacramento. There's no better way to spend a couple of care free weeks than motoring around this great country. Unfortunately, Chuck died this January at the age of 25."

-- Haymaker! issue #1, March 1992

When we are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time

-- Chorus to "Dreamline" by Rush, 1991
