511

Delivered grease canisters to Mills, Wyoming, then drove to PolyPipe in Evansville, Wyoming to pick up very large gauge pipes bound for Pomona, California. Back to SoCal. In Park City, Utah, we learned that I-15 was closed at the Arizona border. After calling 511, we learned that there was a 'police incident' that was keeping it closed for an extended period. We took a chance and kept heading in that direction, acting on the hope that the incident would be cleared by the time we got there. The further we got, we learned that a bank robbery suspect had committed suicide in his car, and the police had subsequently discovered some suspicious boxes, and they thought it was hazardous material - seriously hazardous. We ended up taking a detour from Cedar City over to Caliente, then back down to the 15 just north of Las Vegas. We only added about 75 miles, and two hours to our journey.
