Forgot to add I-88 through Illinois; pretty much I-80 from Ohio to Nebraska, but even worse, and it's a tollway, so you need to pay for that boredom. On the brightside though, it's way faster if you're going from Iowa to Chicago than using I-80, and goes directly to the city, as opposed to I-80 which shoots south of the Chicago metro and has wayyy more truck and general traffic.

1-94 North Dakota. Went many miles and passed signs that said "no amenities at this exit" for several in a row. God forbid you have to pee or run low on gas

Criss-crossing rural Nevada and Utah on local roads with no cell service taught me to plan out my route beforehand and write down where all the gas stations are.

Yep, I-10 east of El Paso is a snooze-fest.

I'd also add I-80 through Wyoming. The fact that you get excited coming up to Little America says a whole lot about that stretch of interstate.

How does "no amenities" prevent you from peeing?

hahaha, fair point. Certainly not me, but a sign like that is enough to force my wife to hold it

I-80 going through northern Nevada is ridiculously boring to me. Given the choice well take the southern route to California down the I-15 rather than have to bore ourselves on the I-80. It's hours of nothing to look at of any interest.
What few town's they have that on that interstate all the way from Utah or Idaho border until you hit Reno, are lacking in anything great to eat, and the town's themselves are not anything we want to stop at unless we absolutely have to.

I took that route and stopped in all the towns along the way shortly after I'd moved to Nevada, to get more familiar with my state. Elko wasn't bad - the downtown promenade makes it feel bigger than it is, and I found a breakfast place with surprisingly good wraps - but mostly I agree with you.

I was going to say the exact same thing.

I remember being on a highway where the sign said “The Loneliest Road in America”. I think it might have been route 50 through Nevada. I actually liked that road though.
