>Sounds like a real "adventure" Ken, however I must point out that
US 50 from Ely, Nevada to Lake Tahoe is rightfully called, "The
Lonelist Hiway in the World". That being said it can be
navigated with careful planning, fuel management, and a little
luck. I have made the trip several times in "new" cars. In a
TR3-6, I would suggest some sort of caravan...

In 2002 the Austin Healey National Conclave was held in Reno. A large
number drove their Healey's from various points along Route 50 to the
Nevada city. But then, they had a rather sizable caravan by the time they
got to the "Loneliest Highway in the World."
Also note that the Royal Gourge is on the route. Not only is the Gourge a
lovely attraction but you can actually cross the gourge by can the road
to/from the gourge on the west side is simply made for our cars.

P.S. Whoever named it the loneliest highway has probably never driven
Siberia.
