Here's the other route it gives you... Interesting bit of routing in the middle. Barstow to Las Vegas via the I-40 (with a detour in the desert)!

Oooh, look what route you get from Barstow to Las Vegas tonight, LOL. (Routing through Death Valley ☠️ )

Oooh. Road rage in the desert, someone pounding on the door of someone else stuck in traffic. Someone screaming and running across lanes. Semis have roadblocked I40/Kelbaker. (thinking the Semis actually might be doing some good by not pushing more people into that mess, tho).

How's YOUR Friday Night. Be glad you're not on the I-40 in the Mojave.

Oooh... that sucks Caltrans CCTV map showing that traffic jam out in the freaking middle of nowhere. It's hot. Nowhere to stop. Nowhere to get gas. Nowhere to get water.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA oof. I wonder how many people are stuck out there.

Oh wow, we have ANOTHER "off the road" incident of frustrated drivers going off into the desert, misled by Google/Apple/Waze maybe?!?! 4wd!!! "100s of vehicles all over the place" 🤯

Wow, the Mojave Desert is a HUGE mess. Good thing it's dark now, that would be brutal during the day.
