I'm from Michigan and drove out to California via Austin, TX last winter with a few friends from school. It is real interesting to see how that state is literally split in half. The eastern half is heavily populated and you can tell that by the image. However, the western half has got to be the least populated region of the lower 48.
There is a good 350 mile stretch of I-10 that runs west from San Antonio where you average an exit every 30 miles or so. I think the largest city between San Antonio and El Paso had 1000 people.
The nice thing about all of this, though, is that we did part of this drive at night. With no light pollution to fuss with, we saw the darkest sky we'd ever seen in our lives.
