West Texas, on the 60 mile stretch between Marathon and Ft. Stockton. At
10PM. With nearby storms.
It isn't very far away from civilization, but it sure feels that way when
there are no homes, farms, businesses, or passing motorists. Everyone
should try it at least once...
Except for the storm part.

For me, probably the 70 mi. stretch from Ten Sleep, WY to Lost
Cabin. But the 40 mi. across Cuny Table from Interior to Buffalo
Gap, SD feels a lot more remote, the longest 40 miles I ever
rode. Felt pretty isolated at Black Horse, too. On the Grand River
in N. central South Dakota.

New Jersey?? Some of you guys are making me chuckle. There is one highway
( all gravel ) that connects the 3 towns near me.( the ONLY 3 towns) Minimum
distance between gas stations : 155 miles! Come visit me sometime and I'll
help you re-define " The Middle of Nowhere"!!

Steve,
That is somewhere, Labrador, it is! To me, when on a DualSport page,
New Jersey is more the middle of nowhere.
I once looked at Labrador from Newfoundland across the Strait of
Belle Isle. It was in 1989, I was on an 84 R100RS on my honeymoon.
We're still married too.
