    According to our local paper, Pahrump Nv got about 7 inches. That is about 60 miles from Vegas, toward Death Valley. Pretty much a senior retirement/Vegas bedroom/dirtbag welfare community. I'll bet those were some UNHAPPY campers!:biggrin_2559:

    I basically sat in the house all day yesterday, but I got several phone calls from other people telling me that it snowed here in Vegas. On that note, Pahrump suuuuuucks!!!

    Instead of heading up the 5 I was routed ...

    60 to the 71 to the 57 to the 210 to the 134 to the 101 to the 46 to the 41 to the 5 to the 50 ...

    From Oxnard to Santa Barbara I averaged 4.37 mph.

    Fortunately for me my truck broke down on the 41 ....

    Better Pahrump than Pomona....At least you can park a rig there (Pahrump) and wake up with all 18 wheels on the ground.....

    Well Ron, that might be true. But the question is, "why would you WANT to?":biggrin_25523:

    Don't ya just love that area around exit 6 to exit 4? UDOT at their finest. . .

    I think some of the highway department folks are making a career out of that little bitty section of I-15.

    That would be my only complaint about UT........Hell....I rarely darken the doors of the coops unless I run OD loads....And even then.....It's done and over in about 5 minutes.....Unlike OR and CO who always will do a level 3 when I run permitted loads.....:biggrin_25510:
