This is a crack up. Moved the family up here 1990. First weekend reading Grizzly letter to editor is about a local explaining how when his headlights were in your backseat it was time to use a turnout. Some things just never change.

Kenai i totally agree w you. Can’t count the times we’ve been stuck behind someone who doesn’t seem to read the SLOWER TRAFFIC USE TURNOUT SIGNs,, last week we were stuck behind someone all the way for Runnimg Springs to lower passing lane. 20/30 cars behind him! He sped up on the straightaways and middle passing lane. Finally got around him at the lower passing lane by using the slow lane… Had to really get it. What morons!

Sounds like an Indiana Jones sized boulder on 5S11

From the San Bernardino National Forest:
📷 Road Hazard Alert – 5S11 📷

A large boulder (~ 5 ft X 10–12 ft) is currently blocking vehicle passage on Forest Road 5S11

• Heavy equipment will be required to remove the boulder

Reading about all the newer vehicle failures makes me glad i insist on older vehicles with a manual tranny, CVT transmissions or touchscreen flummery need not apply...

interesting tidbit, but seeing all the new vehicles going really fast uphill; our mechanic says that flooring ot in a vehicle with a cvt uphill takes over 1000 miles of life off of the transmission for every mile going full throttle up the hill. New big truck transmissions also no longer are able to withstand the heat soak of gears and bearings and sees new(er)vehicles all the time with burned out transmissions. We drive vintage 4x4 suburbans and every time going up the hill keep an eagle eye on the tranny pil temp, and pull over if it gets to 220 degrees. Driving max 35-40 mph to keep temps below that warnong line, so of course we have gotten real good at always letting folks pass every turnout.

Kenai- exactly! Then there's the special entertainment of drivers who speed up on straighter patches and crawl around corners, completely ignoring turnouts!
