Living in Tahoe, we've been out to Battle Mtn on 80. Went from Fallon to Fernley at Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation for the PowWow...
We saw a herd of wild mustang and stopped to say hello - Also had a summer thunderstorm just burst out of the sky as the drumming started! it was truly a magical experience.

...We have a joke that Nevada miles are longer than anywhere else cuz the landscape stretches so far that you think you have gone farther than you actually have!

I have never really taken a road trip across states before, it's definitely on the bucket list!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
