Desert Center California eastbound I-10 east of Cottonwood Springs Road
Something blocked all eastbound traffic on Interstate 10 west of Chiriaco Summit tonight.
I didn't have a CB radio but truckers appeared to know that using Pinto Road as a bypass would work. You can see the tractor-trailer rigs in the shadows at right of frame. Those who missed the Joshua Tree National Park/Cottonwood Springs exit were committed to the jam.
Cottonwood Springs Road was closed about a mile north of here at the Joshua Tree National Park entrance due to flash flood damage to park roadways.
The radio tower site at upper left of frame is known as Chuckwalla. Cell providers and everyone else who needs to cover this section of Interstate 10 has radios up there.
Based on publicly-released US Department of Energy information, the 500,000-volt power lines along Pinto Road (right side of image) are believed to connect Devers switchyard with Palo Verde in Arizona.
The odd lighting is due to storm clouds passing.
Your corrections are welcomed.
Americans are broad-minded people. They’ll accept the fact
that a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife
beater, and even a newspaperman, but if a man doesn’t drive there’s something wrong with him.
