Once you get to the Eastern Sierras, its all desert, so your route won't look any different either way you go. But if you continue East on 178 to 190 and further east to 127 then south towards 15 and east again to 164 and 95 into Bullhead, you will have covered just about all of the desert anyone finds interesting.
That route shows about 10 hours of riding. Besides seeing Lake Isabella, you'll ride past China Lake Weapons station, Pinnacles, Stove Pipe Wells, Furnace Creek, A Solar Concentrator electric station, then into Laughlin.
Thats all I got! Lots of fast riding though as well
