Bad choice by Leo bypass causes burners 3-hours plus?

[dj big E]

As we were driving home on monday there was a bad accident on the highway just after nixon involving a highway patrol and a burner this is a tewrrible thing .... My question opr comment is wy did law enforcement make the large amount of burners take a detour causing most burners an extra 2-3 hour drive basically it lead them to sherts i believe the name is which is allmost in reno. When there was an easier alternative. After waiting about a half an hour to figure out what would happen cars that were obviously from the burn started heading back saying that law enforcement told them to take the alternate route. Amongst these cars i kept noticing cars that obviously had not been to the burn. I flagged one down thanks cable guy and asked him were he was coming from and had he seen the accident. He informed me that he had been diverted to a side road that came out 100 feet south of were i was. So i informed the burners behind me about the buypass they chose not to follow. Anyways i found the road 100 ft down the line mind you i had an rv it was paved and dirt but was in great shape 5 minutes later i was back on the highway and in fernley in 15 minutes. My problem is that they could have diverted all of the traffic this way very easily this detour caused hours of travel extra resources and most of all probly caused some accidents due to fatigue. It seemed as thoe the tribal police who were directing traffic decided that the 20 -30 cars per hour headed north were more inportant than the 10,000 or so headed south . If they would have let the south bound traffic use the bypass they could have stopped it every 30 minutes or so for 10 minutes to allow the north bound traffic through. Not to mention the temporary businesses that were set up and had no customers. I am not positive how long the highway was closed for but the bypass was there and way more convenient. I hope all that were involved in the accident are ok. But paiute police could have done a better job with traffic. BIG E
