Saying this shit on Canada Day? May as well tell every Canadian to go fuck themselves.

I had a teacher that required that in high school, but it was far into my school career that neither I nor my parents were in any mood to be artsy, so we just bought some made out of spandex that we found at the store.

Something feels off to me about rushing to Lake Tahoe only on normal people highways like I-80 and US 50.What makes US-395 so scenic, at least between Inyokern and Topaz Lake, is that it is usually in a wide open valley, yielding lots of vistas presided over by majestic mountains. I love 1 of course, but a lot of its views are of empty ocean on one side and trees and bushes on the other, so the best views are lengthwise along the coast. 49 I like primarily for the quaint towns, not so much the views.
While US 395 is a very nice and scenic modern highway, I would hesitate to call it "most scenic in the state." I'm not sure what I would call "most scenic" but stuff like several sections of 1 and 49 come to mind right away in the Caltrans stock.
395 is also beautiful in Oregon, and north of Spokane, but those roads are certainly nowhere near as popular, so wouldn't belong on that list. But then neither does the Nevada part, in my opinion, because it's apparent "popularity" is primarily due to the large local population filling the roads, not tourists. That article was an enthusiastic sales pitch, but I don't know how successful it will be. When I go up there, I want to get past Gardnerville to Reno.
