The Rest of the Story

I and a friend had a bright idea of going to Cottonwood on Friday.  I was on the internet in the a.m. but didn't look for any road closures.  Not very bright.  I didn't even have the t.v. on before I left.  Didn't even have the radio on and if I did it was just for music.  As we topped out at Sunset Point, we realized there had been a wreck south bound and that they were stopping vehicles.  Channel 3 was already there.  Turns out, a cattle truck had run off the road at 3 a.m.   Anyway, here R some pictures.  

Did U guess already.  Yup, I was stuck on I-17 between Cordes Junction and Phoenix.  Left McDonalds at Cordes Junction at 3:00 p.m. and didn't get home til 6:00 p.m.  It was a crawl and was able to take pictures alongside the road.  Except for where the Christmas tree is in the middle of the interstate....then the traffic got a little faster and, of course, I couldn't get a good picture of that tree.  Those of U living in Arizona.... in the middle of I-17 there is this humongous cedar tree that is decorated with Christmas ornaments during Thanksgiving and the rest of the year, after Christmas,  it has yellow ribbons on it.  They don't seem to know who does this decorating but it is a sight to see when U R traveling along the freeway.
