Wiki Superchargers Visited

Yes. I presume that there is such a place in Asia as well.

The reason the river basins are of interest to me is that I frequently check snowpack levels to see how we are doing (below average this year). Colorado's mountains feed water into a number of major rivers. Two of them, the Colorado River and the Rio Grande, serve dry areas where river flows are "oversubscribed" to put it mildly.

Odd factoid: the earlier name for the Colorado River was the "Grand River." Hence, Grand Junction, Grand Mesa, Grand Lake, Grand Canyon and other place names. My understanding is that Mexico asked for a name change a century ago to avoid confusion with the Rio Grande. The name was changed in 1921 by Congress.

Actually the Triple Divide wiki page points out that central Asia is a large endorheic basin so there is no place with water flowing to both the Arctic and Indian oceans. Interesting tidbit about the naming of the Colorado River. Don't get me started on the Colorado River Compact

What’s the status of Rt 1 with the washed out road to Big Sur? Closed or passable detour?

Google says it's closed about 10 miles south of Big Sur.

@theflyer: my map has reverted to some previous date again - same problem as before. It was fine yesterday, so whatever the problem is occurred overnight.

Any other recent travelers having Tableau map issues?

Saw an article saying that they were doing engineering studies to determine whether they would need to build a bridge or backfill the ridge. It sounded like it'd be a long time before it was open.

Seems it was out of commission for a lengthy period the last time it gave way.

This is a very common problem with this portion of highway 1, a few years ago the Pfeiffer Bridge collapsed and I believe it took about 1 year to rebuild. Based on the picture the road will be closed for sometime.

They are saying late summer. Just $12 million. Seems relatively quick.

Oh no, I'm home already.

And I thank you for that!

You knew from day one he was using his power as AG to cover up manslaughter. Glad justice may be finally being served.

Lawyers in South Dakota have mentioned that South Dakota does not have a vehicular manslaughter law unless the driver of the vehicle is impaired. So, the worst that can happen to a driver who kills a pedestrian is some combination of misdemeanors as is evident in the extant case against the AG.

I've read that there is bipartisan interest in filing impeachment articles against him. Guess SD does not have recall elections.

Thank you governor Hiram Johnson for having the foresight to provide us Golden Staters with initiative, referendum, and recall.
