Rock and Road

HungLikeJesus · 04-24-2010, 01:08 AM

We were driving home tonight and the cars in front of us came to a sudden stop. My wife took a few pictures of this rock that fell in the road. Unfortunately the only camera she had available was the one on her cell phone. For a sense of scale, this is a two lane road.

What amazes me is that this was during rush hour (5:30 on a Friday afternoon) and the rock didn't hit anyone. This is the major highway up and down the canyon.

If we were about 15 seconds earlier this would have been behind us.

One truck tried to drive around the rock on the right (it looks like there's plenty of room) but it scraped the rock and a piece broke off. There were more rocks falling after this, so we stayed in the car.

After two hours they had all the cars turn around and drive the wrong way down the highway. It was a long trip home.
