Photograph of a tractor temporarily stored on the eastern side of Nopal Lane. In the background, the tractor's trailer is stored for a few days immediately adjacent Route 66 pavement.

A close-up/magnification of the previous photograph showing a trailer towed-in and parked parallel to Route 66. A large trash container had also been brought-in and placed by the trailer's back door for a few days. Rotting produced from the trailer was taken out of their boxes and dumped into the container. Some of the empty boxes are shown between the container and the trailer. This smelly and unsightly transfer of rotting food is done in full view of Route 66 travelers and Bagdad Café patrons.

Other damaged trailers are sometimes parked in the same position waiting days for insurance companies to authorized the removal of cargo. The rotting produce or meat can create an odor that spreads a great distance. Obviously, the county Board of Supervisors wouldn't permit such in their own neighborhoods.

Photograph taken from Route 66. This bus (up on wooden blocks) was involved in a fatal crash on Interstate-15 and was parked for weeks on Thomas Stickley's property while CHP and insurance companies investigated the wreckage.

Aerial view showing the proximity of the Bagdad Café directly across the street from Active Towing. Note the clearing on the east (right) side of Nopal Lane where tractors and trailers are ocassionally stored.

The west (left) side parcel from Active Towing, fronting Route 66, is part of the rezoning that would enable a possible future expansion of the towing service.
