Yes, but if you are trying to avoid congestion, there is tons of it backing up from the Bridge over the Mojave at Barstow all the way East to inspection station and even to Minneola Road. Frankly, if you are already on I-40 heading west, you could hit the SC at the Linwood exit in Barstow much quicker than driving between I-40 and I-15. Plus would you miss the east-of-Barstow bottleneck by taking I-40 all the way into Barstow.

I see 150 range miles from Primm on the Mojave National Preserve route. It's a net downhill route, so you're right. The quick calcs were with Google Maps, but using evtripplanner.com it's very doable. Of course, Yermo isn't open. Yet.
I just saw this on the Eddie’s World Facebook page:
When you build in large developed areas you take certain situations for granted, like being able to connect to the local sewer system. Unfortunately, we did not have this luxury. Nevertheless, we found a solution. The construction of our waste water treatment plant is coming along great

The way they phrased this months ago was the same, and the timing made me assume it came in during the planning stages. I don’t think they were surprised by it before they broke ground.
I bet the issue is something else. Family emergency? Study being done? Big part order taking a while? Could be anything.
Well their Facebook post, including a picture of a still under-construction wastewater system, was just made yesterday. That's pretty much the only reason I shared it here. I suppose the picture could have been taken a long time ago but the simplest answer seems to be to take their post at face value. I wonder if someone who drives by frequently may post updated photos soon.
Edit: Diving through their photo album it seems they had poured concrete on parts of the wastewater system before 9/20. It just seems like it's not done quite yet.

Comparing the two Facebook photos shows progress. Unique construction may require delays for city and/or county inspections. I'd rather see them take the time to get it right. Look how much taller the latest concrete structure is. The Eddie World sign is now on the ice cream cone.

This pic is virtually identical to the ones I took three weeks ago. So little changed, that I did not even post them. Did you see many work vehicles at the site? When I went by at 2PM there was only one sedan on the whole property. What concerns me is that the exterior of the building needs a lot of finish work. Portico, facade etc. and there does nor appear to be any work going on. The good sign is the water hose in the above pic. At least some one is coming in to wet the newly poured concrete. It still seems suspicious to me. I’m thinking the Baker supercharger will be open for business before this. Started later but evidently 3 full crews working daily and making noticeable daily progress. I wonder if Eddies world would ever allow access to the Superchargers (which appear to be completed) before Eddie’s World opens? that would be cool. BTW there is supposed to be a new supercharger install in Hesperia before the end of 2017. If they are going to meet that goal, they should have broken ground by now. Anyone heard anything?

Maybe one theory, but I'm not quite sure: Construction is booming throughout the state, and there are a number of emergencies requiring attention throughout the country, so they may have trouble hiring contractors right now to do some of the simple stuff, and be scheduling it for later when they're expecting some of the slower moving parts to be coming available.
Yes--and no offense to the locals, but Yermo is not exactly the epicenter of construction activity statewide. This is the biggest thing to happen to Yermo since Upton”s went in in the 60s!!

Del Taco was founded in Yermo. The original location is now a local place called Burger Den, which is apparently pretty good. A little too far to walk from Eddie World, though - about a mile.
I’m not sure what is going on. It does look 90% complete, but there still is finish work to do and few workers. In addition they have not yet hired a manager and have not begun to hire the many employees needed to run the place. My question is whether the Superchargers can be operational and open to the public before the opening of EW.

Their sewer treatment plant must be completed and operational before their legendary bathrooms can be opened. Enjoy a preview by reading the reviews about their Beatty location.

In the meantime the bathrooms will remain absolutely pristine!

Someone asked when they're opening, and they replied "ASAP!". Someone asked "Are you hiring yet", and they replied "Almost!". All on Oct. 25. No answer to a Oct. 27th question about the SuperChargers yet.

(This post is totally in jest.)
How does a person know what "sans" means, but doesn't know the correct spelling for "passed"?
