It's raining in Walnut Creek!!! Real rain. I mean, you can see it! A prelude of three days of drizzle, and this was worth it. But fair warning to the rain gods: you'd better not be foolin' again like youse did from 1999 to 2020!

So, what better way than to celebrate with an Echinopsis that I call, "Lava Flow," in honor of Alfred's time in Iceland or my Great, Great, Great ... uncle, Julius, who lived in Herculaneum in 80 AD. He would have gotten out, but he forgot that 80 AD was a Leap Year, something he always took literally.

This is not revisionist history like Biden fighting at Bunker Hill in 1066 when he cosigned his Magnum Opus with Beethoven and a LIszt of others.

In 34 ABY the Yuuzhan Vong War is not only already forgotten, it is considered not to have happened at all. A large financial conglomerate has paid a heavy price to erase the last 30 years from the galactic historical record. They have invested in a galaxy they respect but care not to remember or honor. They are not the victors of any battle, yet they seek to rewrite history in order to control and profit from its future.

In the aftermath there are the Forcesaken; those creatures of a long long time ago who survived the Yuuzhan Vong War only to come out on the other side to have their stories be relegated to being that of myth and lore. Real characters, with heart breaking pasts, who are cosigned to a history that is considered to be that of folklore, … or that of Legends. These Legends are the true Forcesaken.

8129, 8128 and 8148 lead a very short 8938, a Pacific National Manildra to Bomaderry loaded grain train.

Montage of 4 cloud abstracts-manipulation of detail; Eurydice cosigned to Hades awaits rescue, she hopes by her lover, Orpheus

Also know as U.S. Route 195 heading south, at lot people drive this route heading to Pullman WA. It's were Washington State University is. Below in the photo is Creek at Qualchan golf course.

U.S. Route 195 (US 195) is a north–south United States Highway, of which all but 0.65 miles of its 94.42 miles (1.05 of 151.95 km) are within the state of Washington. The highway starts in rural Idaho north of the city of Lewiston as a state highway in an interchange with US 95. As the road crosses into Washington it becomes a state highway that connects communities in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington. US 195 travels north, serving the cities of Pullman, Colfax and Rosalia in Whitman County before continuing into Spokane County to its terminus in the city of Spokane at an interchange with Interstate 90 (I-90).

The first section of US 195 designated as part of Washington's state highway system was codified in 1913 from Colfax to Spokane as the Inland Empire Highway and from the Idaho state line to Pullman as the Second Division of the Eastern Route of the Inland Empire Highway. The two highways were included as part of State Road 3 in 1923 and US 195 during the creation of the US Highway System on November 11, 1926. Originally, the northern terminus of the highway was at US 95 in Sandpoint, but was truncated to Spokane after US 2 was extended west from Bonners Ferry in 1946. US 195 was cosigned with Primary State Highway 3 (PSH 3) from US 95 to Spokane and PSH 6 from Spokane to Newport from the creation of the primary and secondary state highways in 1937 until the 1964 highway renumbering. US 195 was extended south into Idaho after the relocation of US 95, designated as the North and South Highway in 1916, onto its present freeway in 1975. Bypasses of Pullman, Rosalia, and Plaza were completed during the early 1970s, converting portions of US 195 into a divided highway.

As the fourth quarter comes to a close, Chilly Chills has released his second EP titled ‘DOPE,’ presented by one of the biggest DJ’s in the south –DJ Greg Street. Already cosigned by legends Outkast and Kanye West and a hot record in the streets (Poppin in Here), Chilly is prepared to set new standards for what it means to be an emcee from Atlanta — No longer does the stigma hold that Atlanta rappers are not lyrical.

Photo by Joel Sartore Not me...Gingko7 (I don't live in Wolf Country nor will anyone else if Bush and Butch get their way)

Bush handed down a ruling allowing the slaughter of the Gray Wolf, an endangered species. It is going to happen this winter.

UPDATE: "The New York Times" is running an ad to save the gray wolves from mass murder. (In the Friday, Feb1 edition)

UPDATE Bush baby gives the green light on wolf slaughter.

UPDATE The slaughter has begun. Hoppy, a wolf injured in a coyote trap was one the the first know victims.

Hopefully the last update Environmental groups have taken the matter to federal court and won. The protected status of the wolf as an endangered species has been restored. The Bush Administration threw in the towel. Of course now it is reneging on it's promise to save the Polar Bears.

Update: Nov. 13, 2008 Bush is once again trying to get the wolves killed before he leaves office. He never stops. Never.

Update May 8,2009 Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar handed the fate of the wolves over to the states. They will be slaughtered once again. The wolves aren't safe under the Obama Administration either. Apparently decisions made my judges in federal court can be discarded like a dirty crumpled napkin.

Update 8/10/2009: Alaska has been one big killing field for wolves. Thanks to Palin and the new bloodthirsty governor. The PAW act, cosigned by big hearted politicians will hopefully be passed.

U.S. Route 95 (US 95) is a major U.S. highway traversing the U.S. state of Nevada from north to south directly through Las Vegas and providing connections to both Carson City (via US 50) and Reno (via Interstate 80). US 95 is cosigned with Interstate 80 for 95 miles (153 km) between a junction in Churchill County and Winnemucca before heading north into Oregon at McDermitt.

Along much of its course through Nevada, US 95 has signs designating it as the Veterans Memorial Highway. A portion of the route in Las Vegas northwest of downtown is also called the Oran K. Gragson Freeway, named for the Las Vegas mayor who advocated for construction of that portion of freeway in the 1960s.

U.S. Route 95 enters Nevada near Cal-Nev-Ari in Clark County and heads north towards Railroad Pass, where it meets US 93. The two routes are then cosigned in the Las Vegas area and east of Henderson, Interstate 515 begins. I-515 is cosigned with US 93/95 for its entire route around eastern Las Vegas. The freeway then heads west into downtown Las Vegas, where it intersects Interstate 15. At the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, US 93 follows I-15 northbound and I-515 ends. US 95 heads west, then north at the Rainbow Curve. The freeway portion then ends and then it becomes a brief four-lane divided highway. US 95 exits Clark County and heads into eastern Nye County, where it briefly enters Esmeralda before meeting US 6 in Tonopah, back in Nye County. US 6/95 leave Tonopah heading west for 41 miles (66 km) until Coaldale, where US 6 splits west towards California and its western terminus in Bishop, California. US 95 then heads northwest towards Hawthorne and Schurz, where ALT U.S. 95 splits west towards US 50, providing an alternate route towards Carson City and Reno. US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate about halfway between Lovelock and Fernley. The two routes then run concurrently for 95 miles (153 km) until reaching Winnemucca, where US 95 splits from I-80. North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.

US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate near Lovelock. The two routs then run concurrently for 95 miles (153 km) until reaching Winnemucca, where US 95 splits from I-80. North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.[

Dates are based on when changes appear on official Nevada state highway maps unless otherwise noted.

US 95 was one of the original U.S. highways in the 1925 Bureau of Public Roads plan.[3] It was commissioned in 1926, but was not extended south into Nevada until 1940. US 95 was routed entirely over existing state highways in Nevada.

The original route was largely the same as today except for some minor realignments and a circuitous detour between Fallon and Winemucca via Fernley.

From the California state line south of Searchlight north to 41 miles (66 km) south of Tonopah, replacing SR 5 (routed concurrently with US 93 and US 466 from Railroad Pass to downtown Las Vegas.

From 41 miles (66 km) south of Tonopah north to Schurz, replacing part of SR 3 (routed concurrently with US 6 from Tonopah to Coaldale).

Schurz north to Fallon, replacing part of SR 1A.

Fallon northwest to Fernley, replacing the western section of SR 2 (now US 50 and Alternate US 50).

Fernley northeast to Winnemucca, routed concurrently with US 40, (since replaced by I-80).

Winnemucca north to the Idaho state line, replacing SR 8.

In 1960, US 95 was realigned north of Fallon, replacing SR 1A and providing a more direct route to US 40 and Winnemucca. This eliminated the need to drive west to Fernley and then double back to the northeast. The former route via Fernley became Alternate US 95 (later renumbered as Alternate US 50 between Fallon and Fernley.

Around 1982, US 95 was realigned in western Las Vegas. Initially, US 95 entered downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street and then turned north on Las Vegas Boulevard, west on Bonanza Road and followed Rancho Drive (formerly Tonopah Highway) in a northwesterly direction out of the city. Upon completion of the Oran K. Gragson Expressway (then known as the Las Vegas Expressway) in 1982 between downtown and Rancho Drive northwest of the city (at present-day exit 90), the route was shifted to the current alignment. The former route on Rancho Drive became Business US 95 and is now part of SR 599, while the Bonanza Road section is now SR 579.

The first section of the future I-515 freeway in Las Vegas opened from I-15 to Charleston Boulevard in 1984 and to Boulder Highway (at current exit 70) by 1985. US 95 was moved from the Las Vegas Boulevard, Fremont Street, and Boulder Highway onto the new freeway. As additional sections of freeway were completed, both US 95 and the concurrently routed US 93 were moved to the new facility. The I-515 designation was added with the completion of the entire freeway to Railroad Pass around 1995. The former route on Boulder Highway is now SR 582.

The Westhorpe run-round loop at Beighton, and the former LD&EC trackwork, has sadly, and without so much as a murmur, been cosigned to history!

Most of it remains in situ, apart from some crossing nosing, but immediately beyond that, can be seen the disconnection from the main line, which in turn, has had the crossing from up - down removed - in other words, all the main line, which had 3 sets of points here, has all been plain-lined. The demise of Beighton yard and the almost total lack of coal trains has been the death knell.

As for the train, ZA723 (66723 CHINOOK) adds further interest with its unique livery, hauling 6E42 Cliffe Hill Stud Farm - Doncaster Up Decoy.

"San Diego commenced to dream of paved roads and the birth of the idea of national highways was in our minds.44 Los Angeles eyed San Diego’s road-building activities warily and began planning its own route to Imperial Valley by way of San Bernardino and Mecca" - Racetrack to Highway

History

An extensive section of this highway (over 600 miles), from approximately Stockton, California to Vancouver, Washington, follows very closely the track of the Siskiyou Trail. The Siskiyou Trail was based on an ancient network of Native American Indian footpaths connecting the Pacific Northwest with California's Central Valley. By the 1820s, trappers from the Hudson's Bay Company were the first non-Native Americans to use the route of U.S. Highway 99 to move between today's Washington state and California. During the second half of the 19th Century, mule train trails, stagecoach roads, and the path of the Central Pacific railroad (later the Southern Pacific railroad) also followed the route of the Siskiyou Trail. By the early 20th Century, pioneering automobile roads were built along the Siskiyou Trail, including most notably the Pacific Highway. The Pacific Highway ran from British Columbia to San Diego, California and is the immediate predecessor of much of U.S. Highway 99. The highway was continuous pavement by the middle 1930s.

State Highway 99

All three states have replaced some portions of US 99 with state highways of the same number:

US 99 Sign in Downtown SeattleWashington: 50 miles (80 km) of US 99, from Fife to Everett, is now State Route 99. It is mostly a surface-level highway with the exception of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the Battery Street Tunnel through downtown Seattle.

Other portions of the old US 99 are now designated as SR 505, SR 529 and SR 530.

Historic US 99 in California

Oregon: Most of former US 99 in Oregon now signed as Oregon Route 99 (OR 99). The route still provides surface-level access to many southern Oregon towns served by I-5. It also provides access to many towns in the Willamette Valley. Between Junction City and Portland, the highway splits into eastern and western routes known as OR 99E and OR 99W, respectively. For significant stretches, OR 99 shares an alignment with I-5. Officially, the highway is signed with both route numbers when this occurs; however, in practice, this is often not the case as the OR 99 designation is dropped in favor of I-5. One notable exception is a stretch of OR 99E that runs between Albany and Salem, where OR 99E is cosigned along the highway.

California: The 424-mile (682 km) stretch between Wheeler Ridge and Red Bluff is signed as State Route 99 which makes it California's second-longest state highway behind SR 1. However, the newly enacted Historic U.S. Route 99 extends from Indio starting from Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley all the way down the Imperial Valley to Calexico on the US-Mexican border with Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.

US 95 is cosigned with Interstate 80 for 95 miles (153 km) between a junction in Churchill County and Winnemucca before heading north into Oregon at McDermitt.

Along much of its course through Nevada, US 95 has signs designating it as the Veterans Memorial Highway. A portion of the route in Las Vegas northwest of downtown is also called the Oran K. Gragson Freeway, named for Las Vegas mayor Oran Gragson who advocated for construction of that portion of freeway in the 1970s.

U.S. Route 95 enters Nevada near Cal-Nev-Ari in Clark County and heads north towards Railroad Pass, where it meets US 93. The two routes are then cosigned in the Las Vegas area and east of Henderson, Interstate 515 begins. I-515 is cosigned with US 93/95 for its entire route around eastern Las Vegas. The freeway then heads west into downtown Las Vegas, where it intersects Interstate 15. At the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, US 93 follows I-15 northbound and I-515 ends. US 95 heads west, then north at the Rainbow Curve. The freeway portion then ends and then it becomes a brief four-lane divided highway. US 95 exits Clark County and heads into eastern Nye County, where it briefly enters Esmeralda before meeting US 6 in Tonopah, back in Nye County. US 6/95 leave Tonopah heading west for 41 miles (66 km) until Coaldale, where US 6 splits west towards California and its western terminus in Bishop, California. US 95 then heads northwest towards Hawthorne and Schurz, where ALT U.S. 95 splits west towards US 50, providing an alternate route towards Carson City and Reno. US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate about halfway between Lovelock and Fernley. The two routs then run concurrently for 95 miles (153 km) until reaching Winnemucca, where US 95 splits from I-80. North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.

Interstate 495 (I-495) is a 64-mile (103 km) Interstate Highway that surrounds Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America, and the city's inner suburbs in adjacent Maryland and Virginia. I-495 is widely known as the Capital Beltway or simply the Beltway, especially when the context of Washington, D.C., is clear. It is the basis of the phrase "Inside the Beltway," used when referring to issues dealing with American government and politics. I-95 utilizes the southern and eastern half of the Capital Beltway to circumnavigate Washington, D.C., and is cosigned with I-495 along that route.

This circumferential roadway is located not only in the states of Virginia and Maryland, but also crosses briefly through the District of Columbia, near the western end of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac River. The Beltway passes through Prince George's County and Montgomery County in Maryland, and Fairfax County and the independent city of Alexandria in Virginia.

The Cabin John Parkway, a short connector between I-495 and the Clara Barton Parkway near the Potomac River along the Maryland–Virginia border, is considered an Interstate spur (I-495X) by the Maryland State Highway Administration.

US 95 is cosigned with Interstate 80 for 95 miles (153 km) between a junction in Churchill County and Winnemucca before heading north into Oregon at McDermitt.

U.S. Route 95 enters Nevada near Cal-Nev-Ari in Clark County and heads north towards Railroad Pass, where it meets US 93. The two routes are then cosigned in the Las Vegas area and east of Henderson, Interstate 515 begins. I-515 is cosigned with US 93/95 for its entire route around eastern Las Vegas. The freeway then heads west into downtown Las Vegas, where it intersects Interstate 15. At the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, US 93 follows I-15 northbound and I-515 ends. US 95 heads west, then north at the Rainbow Curve. The freeway portion then ends and then it becomes a brief four-lane divided highway. US 95 exits Clark County and heads into eastern Nye County, where it briefly enters Esmeralda before meeting US 6 in Tonopah, back in Nye County.

US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate near Lovelock. The two routs then run concurrently for 95 miles (153 km) until reaching Winnemucca, where US 95 splits from I-80. North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.[

Dates are based on when changes appear on official Nevada state highway maps unless otherwise noted.

US 95 was one of the original U.S. highways in the 1925 Bureau of Public Roads plan.[3] It was commissioned in 1926, but was not extended south into Nevada until 1940. US 95 was routed entirely over existing state highways in Nevada.

The original route was largely the same as today except for some minor realignments and a circuitous detour between Fallon and Winemucca via Fernley.

From the California state line south of Searchlight north to 41 miles (66 km) south of Tonopah, replacing SR 5 (routed concurrently with US 93 and US 466 from Railroad Pass to downtown Las Vegas.

From 41 miles (66 km) south of Tonopah north to Schurz, replacing part of SR 3 (routed concurrently with US 6 from Tonopah to Coaldale).

Schurz north to Fallon, replacing part of SR 1A.

Fallon northwest to Fernley, replacing the western section of SR 2 (now US 50 and Alternate US 50).

Fernley northeast to Winnemucca, routed concurrently with US 40, (since replaced by I-80).

Winnemucca north to the Idaho state line, replacing SR 8.

In 1960, US 95 was realigned north of Fallon, replacing SR 1A and providing a more direct route to US 40 and Winnemucca. This eliminated the need to drive west to Fernley and then double back to the northeast. The former route via Fernley became Alternate US 95 (later renumbered as Alternate US 50 between Fallon and Fernley.

Around 1982, US 95 was realigned in western Las Vegas. Initially, US 95 entered downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street and then turned north on Las Vegas Boulevard, west on Bonanza Road and followed Rancho Drive (formerly Tonopah Highway) in a northwesterly direction out of the city. Upon completion of the Oran K. Gragson Expressway (then known as the Las Vegas Expressway) in 1982 between downtown and Rancho Drive northwest of the city (at present-day exit 90), the route was shifted to the current alignment. The former route on Rancho Drive became Business US 95 and is now part of SR 599, while the Bonanza Road section is now SR 579.

The first section of the future I-515 freeway in Las Vegas opened from I-15 to Charleston Boulevard in 1984 and to Boulder Highway (at current exit 70) by 1985. US 95 was moved from the Las Vegas Boulevard, Fremont Street, and Boulder Highway onto the new freeway. As additional sections of freeway were completed, both US 95 and the concurrently routed US 93 were moved to the new facility. The I-515 designation was added with the completion of the entire freeway to Railroad Pass around 1995. The former route on Boulder Highway is now SR 582.

Holding a forgotten dream in my hand that is suddenly tangible, has been more then just slightly overwhelming. It’s bittersweet. And disturbing. We’d recorded A.N.R. during some of the darkest days of my life, and looking back I honestly think the project was about the only thing keeping me going at the time. I was feeding off a single emotion then. Rage. It was about all I was feeling. Simple fundamental necessities like food, sleep, and social interaction had become nugatory. The ex had just pulled her little Houdini act, and vanished off into oblivion with her new boy candy. I on the other hand was standing alone, nothing more then a boy myself, holding a broken heart in one hand and an eight month old little girl in the other. She’d walked out on us, and I’d never felt so lost, aimless, and inundated. Before or since. It was actually something she had said the last time we ever talked face to face that had kept me going. We were standing on the steps of the court house, and she’d insisted that if “he” and I were both drowning, and she could only save one of us, she would save me. I found that rather profound. I had to giggle. Like in that moment I finally snapped. The proverbial straw that had broken the camels back, as it were. She said she would save me, and yet there I was. Drowning. And she didn’t jump in and save me. Instead she made me take a paternity test. Not to prove I was Dezi’s father, but to prove that I wasn’t. How’s that for hypocrisy?

As eager as she was in what I have to assume was her conquest of breaking me, she only fueled the fire more. The test came back 99.999999. And that is when she vanished. Bailed without her daughter, without me, without even a goodbye or even reconciling the four digit debt I had cosigned on. I don’t even think she paid her lawyer. She just walked away. Nearly two years passed before she popped up again in Meeker, Colorado. I can at least say that by then I’d woken up. The days in between….

As much as I liked being a part of that band, and as much as I wish I could say that when Dezi’s mom had bailed out, I did the right thing. I can’t. I do not miss nor admire who I was or how I dealt with the situation. I was young, selfish, and I was hurt. It was an ignorant stand point. One I’m not the least bit proud of. Rather then doing what I should have, focusing on my little girl, I instead went into self destruction mod. In my head, my daughters mom had just walked out on us, and all I cared about was how badly she’d hurt me. How fucking selfish is that? I was an ignorant little prick. I didn’t center myself on my daughter. I didn’t focus on the one thing that made my life amount to a damn. Instead, to keep my mind off of her and all her hallow lies, cheating, empty promises, and tommyrot, I instead buried myself in work.

Super dad? Hardly. Between the two jobs I was holding down at the time, I was pulling in about 60 hours a week. After she bailed, it jumped up to about 90 hours, give or take twenty. Add the band putting on shows nearly every weekend, after hours shindigs, and me tipping cans left and right, like they were the answer to fuzzing clarity, and recording the album to top it off. It all boiled down to me bailing out on my daughter as much as her mom had. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t eat. And I didn’t care.

So why would I say finishing the album has been bittersweet and disturbing? A.N.R. is a vision made real. It is something I invested countless dollars and hours into. It will also always be a pronounced reminder of the worst hours of my life. My most selfish. My most self destructive. And my most cowardly. I am very proud of the envisage we produced. But I am equally ashamed of the journey I coursed to accomplish it.

Érigé vers la fin du XIIe, le site fortifié de Belflou, appelé autrefois Valflor (vallée des fleurs) ou Saint Félix de Lanès, fut d'abord possession de seigneurs non identifiés, puis rattaché à la maison de Laurac. En septembre 1206 - ainsi que l'atteste une charte cosignée par les comtes de Foix et de Toulouse, le plus ancien document relatif à Belflou connu à ce jour - Aimeric de Roquefort, seigneur de Laurac et sympathisant de la fraction albigeoise des Cathares, donna Belflou en fief à quatre frères, les chevaliers Bernard, Hugues, Guy et Olric de Saint Germain.

En 1209, Simon de Montfort, comte d'Île-de-France, fut appelé par le pape Innocent III, agissant d'entente avec le roi Philippe II Auguste, à conduire la croisade contre les Albigeois. En 1211, il fit exécuter Aimeric de Roquefort et quatre-vingts de ses hommes, dont probablement les frères de Saint Germain. Il confisqua alors ses biens et seigneuries, dont la place forte de Belflou qui passa successivement en mains des croisés, d'agents du comte de Toulouse et de représentants des rois de France. En 1310, le roi Philippe le Bel fit don de la seigneurie de Belflou à Philippe de Fontanes et à ses héritiers pour services rendus dans son administration. Durant près de cinq siècles, la famille Fontanes conserva et développa la seigneurie. En 1581-82, des huguenots investirent temporairement les lieux. En 1789, Belflou passa aux révolutionnaires. Les Fontanes se réfugièrent alors en Suisse et la propriété connut depuis divers occupants

Along much of its course through Nevada, US 95 has signs designating it as the Veterans Memorial Highway. A portion of the route in Las Vegas northwest of downtown is also called the Oran K. Gragson Freeway, named for the Las Vegas mayor who advocated for construction of that portion of freeway in the 1960s.

U.S. Route 95 enters Nevada near Cal-Nev-Ari in Clark County and heads north towards Railroad Pass, where it meets US 93. The two routes are then cosigned in the Las Vegas area and east of Henderson, Interstate 515 begins. I-515 is cosigned with US 93/95 for its entire route around eastern Las Vegas. The freeway then heads west into downtown Las Vegas, where it intersects Interstate 15. At the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, US 93 follows I-15 northbound and I-515 ends. US 95 heads west, then north at the Rainbow Curve. The freeway portion then ends and then it becomes a brief four-lane divided highway. US 95 exits Clark County and heads into eastern Nye County, where it briefly enters Esmeralda before meeting US 6 in Tonopah, back in Nye County. US 6/95 leave Tonopah heading west for 41 miles (66 km) until Coaldale, where US 6 splits west towards California and its western terminus in Bishop, California. US 95 then heads northwest towards Hawthorne and Schurz, where ALT U.S. 95 splits west towards US 50, providing an alternate route towards Carson City and Reno. US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate about halfway between Lovelock and Fernley.

Looking S on Indio Blvd (Historic US 99-SR 86-Hwy 111) at the intersection of Dillon - on the left -E, and 48th St W on the right.

In 1936, after the Indio Cut-off was completed it eliminated the US 60 routing through Box Canyon, 10 miles S of here in Mecca.

Beginning in 1937 US 60 came directly West from Chiriaco Summit down the hill to Indio and along Dillon to this interchange with then US 99, at a later date US 70 was cosigned into this triplex.

Thus, US 99/60 and 70 proceeded together N through Indio and W to Beaumont and L.A.

US 99 was later superseded by SR 86, the I-10 widening and interchange was completed in 1972, the 86S Expressway was built a mile or so away from the existing SR86 and the entire Dillon US 60 intersection interchange was moved a few miles N and smoothed out. US 99 through this area is now labeled Indio Blvd.

The most recent change to this Dillon Historic US 99-60 intersection is the completion of an overpass to ease traffic flow and avoid a ground level crossing of the railroad.

"The routes divide at the intersection of Indio Boulevard and Dillon Road (48th Avenue). At the time this picture was taken, construction was underway to build a Dillon Road overpass across Indio Boulevard and the railroad. By Summer 2009, this configuration had changed, with all traffic connecting to Dillon Road turning right and then looping onto the bridge that carries traffic over both Indio Boulevard and the railroad tracks. The 2006 picture shows the intersection before the Dillon Road Grade Separation was built. Note the city limits sign for Coachella in the 2006 picture. Photos taken 03/14/09 and 05/07/06."

SR-86 (Harrison St) continues due north to the intersection with Grapefruit Blvd, which is former SR-111, although it is still signed as such. The road here was widened to the current four lanes in 1956 as part of the expressway/freeway that went to Los Angeles. Almost immediately after at the next signal is Dillon Rd. As inauspicious as it looks, this intersection is where US 60 and US 70 converged with US 99. According to the old maps, this interchange was in use from sometime in the 1930s to 1972 when it was bypassed by I-10. From this intersection to Los Angeles, US 99 was co-signed with US 70 and US 60, intermittently, to Los Angeles. The three routes continued north on Grapefruit Blvd, which now turns into Indio Blvd. The overpasses are newer, being built during the 1960s and 1970s. However, this road was divided as it is now at the time it was US 99

A remnant of US 60/70 and the 1928 State 'improved and realigned' LRN 64 now a frontage road to the north of I-10 which replaced it in the 60s.

The 'original' Mecca to Blythe Road - LRN 64 built on the bones of the pathetic rut riddled Atlantic and Pacific HWY was located South of current I-10 and it too has original remnants here and there.

Historic Routing

Until 1964, U.S. 60 generally followed what is today the current Interstate 10 corridor, connecting downtown Los Angeles with San Bernardino and the desert cities of Palm Springs, Indio, and Blythe. U.S. 60 entered Arizona at the Colorado River bridge east of Blythe and west of Quartzsite. The combination of Interstate 10 and California 60 freeways was built in stages through the 1960s, and signage for U.S. 60 was gone by 1972. A portion of old U.S. 60 is today part of the California 60 freeway between San Dimas and Beaumont; the California 60 freeway west of San Dimas was never signed as U.S. 60. The route was cosigned with U.S. 70 from Beaumont east to the Arizona State Line near Blythe and with U.S. 99 from Beaumont east to Indio.

Note: Updated info- Darin Kuna has a date of 1947 for this Frasher photo postcard which would invalidate my guess of 1952 and the construction of the Expressway-

Photo taken from the hills on east side of Whitewater - Frasher postcard.

Best shot I've seen to date of the old state highway LRN-26 now carrying US-99/60/70 winding through the pass. Note - on west side of the bridge -built in 1930 - is the famous AT+T Relay Station, a mile further west is the site of Snow Creek 'Camp' facility (site of our current I-10 rest Area) and just before it on south side is Tipton road going into town via HWY 111 past the 1930s era Southern Pacific Rail Station at Tipton and HWY 111.

The 1952 shiny ribbon of new construction widening the State Highway that carries US-99/60/70 through the Pass is clearly visible just beyond (west) the rest area that also contains Snow Creek Camp. This 4 lane 'Expressway-Freeway' from Beaumont to Imperial will soon abandon this short segment of old highway and bridge hence to be labeled the Whitewater cut-off. And in another ten years the Expressway itself will be incorporated into the expansion of the I-10 Freeway.

March 7, 1931:

"A letter received by the Chamber of Commerce this morning from H. A. Russell, honorary president of U S. Highway No. 54 Association States that there is great interest- being shown an Kansas and southwestern points in the improvement of ' this highway on account of its new importance as the main highway artery j serving the new vacation 7 land. Rus- isell points out in his letter that U. S. Highway No. 54 from Vaughn, New Mexico to Jefferson City is a part of the Atlantic and Pacific Highway, "the shortest highway with less deserts and less mountains than any other transcontinental highway between New York and Los Angeles." Highway Much Traveled The Atlantic and Pacific Highway is made up of several important U. S. highways, using 50 into Jefferson City from the east, then 54 to Vaughn, New Mexico and U. S. No. 70 from Vaughn west. Inasmuch as U. S. Highway 54 is probably the most important and scenic section of the new transcontinental highway, the association of which Russell is president is strong. ly urging all states through which lit passes to build a concrete highway so that traffic may not be diverted to other concrete highways which do not reach this region of the upper Ozarks. The Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with all cities interested in this new highway and tourist development. LS SFTEfl M Gfll SEDALIA, MO., March 7."

His wife received a pension after his death.

Erie Republican Record, Friday, September 11, 1903, Pg. 3

Volume XXVII, Number 49

ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER DEAD.

_____

George Tom was born in Beaver county, Penn., March 11, 1836, and died in Erie, Kan., on Friday, September 4, 1903, after a lingering illness of about three months, caused by a complication of diseases contracted in the army. When quite young he moved with his father’s family to Muskingum county, Ohio, and thence to Athens county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. On the 9th day of August 1862, he enlisted in Company I, 92d Regt. Ohio Vol. Inf., U. S. A. He participated in a number of the hard fought battles of the Civil war, was a faithful soldier, and on the 10th day of June, 1865, was honorably discharged after the close of the Civil war. He came to Kansas in April, 1870, and in May, 1870, was united in marriage with Mary J. Robinett. To them were born five children. One daughter and two sons died in infancy. Two daughters remain with their mother, with her to mourn the loss of a kind father and husband. He has lived in Neosho county since 1870, for the last thirteen years he has resided in Erie. He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1877, and had lived a faithful member of the same until death. George Tom was a helpful neighbor, an upright , zealous Christian man, a respected citizen, an honored comrade, and a kind husband and father, has finished his labors on earth, has gone, and was ready to meet his God.

The funeral services were held in the M. E. church in Erie last Saturday, being conducted by Rev. W. Emerson, and the remains cosigned to their last resting place in the Erie cemetery. The Erie G. A. R. Post, of which Mr. Tom was an honored member, assisted in the services and at the burial, about forty-five of the “old boys” being in line. Although it was Saturday, it was one of the largest funerals ever held in Erie, testifying to the high esteem which Mr. Tom was held in Erie.
