West to east, take 50. 50 east of Austin is some nice riding, and Eureka and Ely are two of the neatest little towns I've seen.
North to south - 95 between the Oregon line and Lovelock is pretty cool. There's some stretches on 95 south of Fallon that are "OK" but not great. I'll have more comparison in a couple weeks when I do 93/ET highway north from Vegas, up to Ely and back to Fallon.
Now, this blue card - I've bought two firearms in this state and this is the first time I've heard the word "blue card". Is that a southern Nevada thing? Do I have a blue card and don't know it???

The blue card is only handguns and I believe only Clark county. I have bought rifles and no blue card for them only my 1871 colt replica .45.

You shouldn't have any problem with gas. Leave Reno with a full tank. When you leave Virgiania City take 6 Mile Canyon Road to Hwy 50 to Fallon. You'll see it just as you enter town. Gas up in Fallon and there will be enough stations on the way to get you to Elko. Distances to towns are pretty well marked.
From Elko you will probably only need one gas stop to Boise.
Have fun.

Although we need the rain badly, I am glad we are going back to the sunny and dry days!
Gotta be carefull since there is still lots of gravel on the road from the recent rains.
