hy 50 info in Cailifornia/Nevada/Utah

Hey Chris:
Once you get past Folsom, CA, they really aren't thrilled about having you on hwy 50 up to Tahoe. I was booted off but cheated some. There is another route that is longer just to the south of 50 but it is legal.
Out of Tahoe it's okay(you are in Nevada). After the Sooner Summit, watch out for grates going down the other side. They are huge and will swallow a bike wheel.
Nevada gets more and more remote as you go east. Very little traffic and no worry about the shoulder.
Go to the County Fairgrounds in Fallon for camping and a shower. $7.
In Middlegate, the camping is free and a shower is a buck or two. A cabin is like $5. The owner is a trip. (Middlegate is a bar, gas station , motel right out of the movie Tremors.)
Austin, NV, go to the hardware store. That's where the locals hang out. Ask for Rufus (I may have the name wrong, but I know it starts with an R). He is an old guy who goes by in his pick-up every so often and in charge of the Rodeo Grounds at the bottom of the mountain. Free camping with grass, and a shower. He does accept donations.
The highway splits when getting close to the Utah border. Plan on staying in Baker, NV. It's just outside a cool natl. park and it seems to attract tons of riders. I met a dozen at least. Eat at the Ice House (Yellow signs) He has property across the street where he will let you camp for free if you eat at his restaurant.
I headed to Cedar City, Utah from there to go up to Cedar Breaks and hit some of the natl. parks. I never regretted it. Met lots of riders there, too.
The entire ride was beautiful. Water didn't become a problem until Utah because of the heat.
Have a great ride, I know I did.
