| Traffic tieups on the road to Albuquerque. |
| Many vehicles decided to turn around and try an alternate route. |
| We had a lot of trouble getting a truck to ship the cryostat and receiver up to Penn -- all the trucks were full of pumpkins. Here's a case in point. |
| The traffic was backed up for about two miles. |
| Having nothing better to do, I walked down the line to try and find the cause of the hold up. |
| After about two miles of walking I found this. Aparently there was a multi-car pile-up. About a quarter mile past this bridge one lane of the highway is closed due to construction. Presumably the accident was caused by some incautious merging. |
