So fun. I did a turnaround to my Wrightwood office today. Left at 7am. I’m going to be dead to the world tomorrow.

I walked up and they have a tractor pushing shit out of the lanes.

Caltrans guy came by the truck and said hopefully it’ll open in 20 mins

You are still out there? The 40 has been a rough drive the last couple of weeks.

 

[RiverDiva]

Everyone was sleeping. Hallelujah.

 

[AZLineman]

More lithium ion batteries?

Passed it this morning. Wide open now but you can tell exactly where it happened.

Last weekend I was like damn, glad I was at home and didn't get stuck on the 40

Left Corona at 807pm, arrived in Havasu at 452am.

Me and few trucks ran up the median until we hit a wash lined with boulders. No one had a vehicle that was equipped to attack that type of terrain.

Might've missed it if it wasn't for the 15 min delay at the top the Cajon Pass because Caltrans needs a traffic break earlier and earlier with their never ending high desert project.

Thank god our pets are actually pretty good with the drives. The fat ass cat took a huge dump as soon as we got to the house

Also, WTF is half of Havasu doing out on the roads at 430am?!
