    What up peeps?

    I was wondering if any of you know anything about the power line road that runs between Barstow and Vegas? I'm heading up there for the weekend (didn't realize it's "I ❤ Music" weekend). I'm looking for an alternate route if traffic gets backed up. Not looking for anything technical, just something that can get me past a lot of traffic. Other than the random washouts is it a road I can run fast on? Isn't a road that's fairly maintained? Have any of you taken this route?
    Any info you guys can pass along is much appreciated.

    yeah I was gonna say, @MADSTEEZE knows this road well...he took it most of the way to Vegas from around Barstow I think, maybe a month ago now? It's on the wheeler's anonymous page but probably 40 pages back lol.

    Madsteez said in the other thread that he was able to maintain about 50 - 60mph on portions of it, some parts required slowing down. I think he mentioned he took it back at night and cruised at about 40 most of the way, only hit one big hump by accident and caught some air, lol
