YouTube offers many views of US 50 in Nevada, dubbed The Loneliest Road in America, much of which follows the Lincoln Highway. Here are some time-lapse videos, heading west, that show that, if the road is not exactly deserted, it can be lonely.
Ely (look for the Hotel Nevada on the left at 0:42) westward almost to Eureka:
Then westward to Austin (arriving about 2/3 in):
Want those two trips all at once (but kinda fast)?
Since Eureka was lost in the editing of the above, maybe this will make up for it – all I’ll say is “Rawhide” gets sung at the town’s wacky Keyhole bar, right on the Lincoln Highway:

I know I’m late to the topic but I want to point out that this is no one-trick deer. “Suspicious Minds” was the tune performed when I stopped by the Keyhole in August of ’09. Sorry, no video.
