Courtesy of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, this is what the old Yermo inspection station used to look like, cerca 1930. A lot less cars on the road back then.
I bet some of those people sitting in traffic on I-15 as they return from Las Vegas wish that the ag station still looked like this. I was amazed to find out that the amount of traffic going through the station has actually increased from last summer to this summer. Does the state of the economy have people in such a state of distress that they want to go blow all of their remaining savings in Vegas? Or maybe what we’re seeing is a mass exodus of people fleeing Sin City in search of cheaper lands.
