If you drink, don't drive. This is a "sign" of what could happen. I hope the cars on that curve above were observant of this or, at the very least, had a designated driver!
what a disappointment: the word NEXT is not highlighted any more!
Have never heard about Kern River. Some map at the beginning?
Incredibly beautiful each of pictures.
The sign looked as if it was actually placed there when I first looked at it, but then logic took over and it became obvious that someone either hit it, or some joker uprooted it and tossed it over the cliffside.
In any event, while small, it is very much an incongruity.
