The long pull out of Baker to Mountain Pass, which is close to a 4000'
climb has signs suggestion people turn off their air conditioners in the
summer to prevent overheating. The car sized scorched patches on the
shoulders are from those that didn't and wished they had.


All the big rigs have to move over to the far right lane. Looks like
a snake making its way up the mountain. The pass gets closed down
occasionally due to snow and ice.
