Who got stuck in the I-15 zoo heading back into California? We did !! It took us a good 4 hours to get the last 15 miles to stateline and even did a little 4x4 in the desert to avoid the back up... We left the track at 1:30p, the Dolphins/Broncos game just kicked off and you gotta love satelite radio for just that reason.. The game was long over before we reached stateline and we read there was a dead body dumped 1 mile into Calif that closed the freeway.. We didnt get home until 2:30 this morning...  Oh yeah.. there was some pretty good racing going on.. Someone we know and we wont say names (Curtis... afxcoronet) got his 7 second time slip and went deep into the rounds.. With the exception of the traffic and Dolphins losing, it was a great weekend !!

I was wondering what the hold up was. Left bass pro around 10am and hit stopped traffic at Gold strike casino then took about an hour to get to Primm. Sounds like I was lucky. After that it was smooth sailing all the way to Fresno. Always good times at SCSN. We'll be back with cars for MATS

Yeah, it was down to one lane just past Primm with about 15 CHP off to the side. And dang it, I had a list of stuff to get before leaving Nevada but didn't get any of it 
- couple cases of brake cleaner "that actually cleans".
- few cans of 134a that doesnt require a 10.00 deposit per can!
- gas cans without the worthless no spill safety spouts that spills every time.
- and a 49 State, Non-California emissions Echo weed eater....I can hear it now, stopped at the checkpoint..."Sir, step out of the vehicle, you know transporting outta state gasoline powered lawn equipment across state lines is a punishable offence"... ..they'd probably arrest me

I think if I had to face that gauntlet everytime I attempted to leave Vegas.... I'd opt for the long way.... NV 95 south to the 40 and then west to Barstow..... yeah it would suck, but at least your moving!

I might have been tempted to go to Pahrump off the 15 in Las Vegas and then into and through Death Valley to Hwy 14 or 395 and then down into either L.A. or up to Bakerspatch through Techapi   Moving is better than sitting and creaping IMO, especially if you haven't seen that(Pahrump,Death Valley) area before  
That was the problem Cab... nothing was announced.. We got about 15 miles from stateline before we knew there was any kind of problem.. and then it was too late to turn around..
I like your suggestion.. anything would have been better... even going north and making a left in Reno...
