Driving from LA to Bishop, CA?

Question

I have to make this drive and I'm worried. On the map it looks like a deserted. Is it safe? Does this stretch of highway get cell phone coverage? Are there towns along the way?

Answer 1

You will be driving through several miles of nothing. I don't know about cell service since I haven't been to Bishop since about 1997. Once you past all the bigger cities and get out to the middle of nowhere there are only really small towns like one called Lone Pine. Bishop and the drive is safe though. My relatives still go there occasionally for the excellent fishing up there. Don't worry you'll be fine.  

Answer 2

I get cell phone coverage all the way to Bishop with ATT. From LA to Mojave is good, after that there are small towns up to Bishop, you shouldn't worry about the drive.
