I did get a crappy night shot....I dashed to the platform and set the cam for 20secs or so...

Good stuff, Mike. I see they tacked on another motor, since it arrived into Vegas last week.

The trace hasn't updated since Lenwood.

**UP4785 (Not Updating)**
Departed: Lenwood,CA - 6/23 @ 5:40PM.
Scheduled Arrival: Phoenix,AZ - 6/24 @ 3:36PM.

According to the radio/ATCS they just took South Dike on the Mojave Sub (9:30PM), making a meet with a Northbound at Slover. From there, it will head East of the Yuma Sub...

Hopefully it comes back West in the daylight hours.
