    That little station in Kettleman City had cars lined all the way back up onto the freeway.

    Seems like there's some spots up on 90 and 94 that there's nothing for a long ways but grassy dunes.

    If 2 lane is entered into the conversation, then Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona.

    Meh, interstates. Try route 115 from Montreal up through the park to matheson, on. 450ish miles of mosquitos and moose.

    The reverse of that is the route we were hauling shacks down to the docks; had to sneak by the OPP post in Matheson. o_O

    For remoteness; highway to Yellowknife, Alaska Highway, 37 in BC, Dempster, Trans-Labrador, Trans-Taiga, Winnipeg to Flin Flon or Gillam, then there's the seasonal roads... :)
