Here are links to some photos I took at Beryl Junction. There were a total of 9 of us within a quarter of a mile. There was maybe one car every mile pulled off the highway.
That's odd. I guess K-ville really did suck everyone in. I spoke to one of the city officials after and he said cars were backed up bumper to bumper on the entire 9 miles of frontage road between both K-ville exits as well as on the road from I-15 to New Harmony. He said the highway patrol had 8 troopers assigned to the stretch of I-15 K-ville who's main job was to keep motorist from pulling over during the eclipse. It's too bad one of the news or law enforcement choppers wasn't over the area during the eclipse taking pictures. I would have liked to have seen the view from the air.
