Exclamation I-15 betw Barstow and Baker, CA

Some 411 for anyone contemplating making the run on 15 between S. CA and Vegas in the near future.

Watch out for the unfinished bridge work areas, major bumps. One section has like 4 or 5 within a mile of each other. Total there are about 10 of them. :mad:

This weekend, I took several jolts and a couple of them were dayum scary.

I finally had to slow down everytime I saw the "Bump" sign and take them at about 60 instead of the usual 85.
