The old Pony Express route, but only the dirt section. Incredibly isolated. No dependable water along the route. Water can be begged in Callao but isn't guaranteed (you have to find people there, first). Stunningly beautiful, achingly washboarded.

driving this route, we found a water spigot in Fish Springs

I think I have to amend it - this follows the Stupid Pony route when the actual Pony Express stays south a bit. No worries, Nate, you'll get a shot at that one, too :P
