I'll bet the Bandit would've found a way around the mess!

On our way home from a Sunday drive on a Saturday we came across a bit of a mess.
Seems that a truck on the freeway (I-10) had decided to catch fire and block both lanes of traffic. One lane was finally opened to get the traffic flowing, however this took about 2 hours after the accident and with no exits on this section of freeway we found ourselves stuck in the middle.
Lucky for us we had packed a picnic lunch along with plenty of water since the heat was up to 102° F with a slight breeze from the East with a clear sky.
For reference this is Interstate 10 East of Vail Arizona, West of the Frontage Road overpass:
31.983552381672638, -110.54711529068143

This is the end result of someone thinking their time is more important than someone else's. We were keeping tabs on the Google Map and there were several peripheral accidents that came out of the main one.

You know, that guy who thinks HIS TIME is more important than anyone else's.
On our way home from a Sunday drive on a Saturday we came across a bit of a mess.This guy decided to make the mess even worse by driving the wrong way back down the freeway.
Seems that a truck on the freeway (I-10) had decided to catch fire and block both lanes of traffic. One lane was finally opened to get the traffic flowing, however this took about 2 hours after the accident and with no exits on this section of freeway we found ourselves stuck in the middle.
What we found out later is that there was a State Policeman back down the way who ticketed every person that decided to pull this stunt!

Nope, it's not a Phoenix freeway at 5 PM on a Friday afternoon!

Looking for a 3 hour tour? Forget about booking the SS Minnow:

Book the Nerissa instead!
From our sojourn to San Diego.
We had the opportunity to see a lot of yachts passing by but the Nerissa was the only one with a Yacht Rental sign on her! Had a look at her WWW page:
zolnayachts.com/portfolio-items/nerissa/
and was pleasantly surprised to see that she only costs $1500 US per hour (sans gratuities). Since she can carry 49 paying passengers each would only have to pay about $30 US per hour. Not a bad price if you've got 48 other friends who want to take a cruise around the harbor on a yacht!
PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group (and anyone else with a technical curiousity) you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used. One thing I've noticed is this lens has a lot of vignette to it at a distance, not a bad thing when you're shooting lightning at night!
