I almost forgot,there is a washout on old 66,you can only get to Amboy by exit 78 on I40.
Multiple wash outs on 66.
Over New Years we camped near Cadiz.
We took 78 to 66 then East to Chambless, South towards Cadiz then off road.
66 is closed between Ludlow and Amboy (I did not drive to Amboy to find out where 66 is closed West of Amboy.
66 is also closed East of Chambless, not sure how far.
While off roading South East of Cadiz (rock hounding) ran across the reason for the closure of 66 East of Chambless, massive flash flood. About 1/4 mile wide nothing left standing, vegetation gone and torn up, thick soft silt. I'm guessing this was from the rains in early December, as there was grass growing and a lot of green vegetation in the desert.
