Subdeacon Joe Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) From the Hwy 49 Adventures Facebook group Huge shout out to Sierra County Board of Supervisor, Lee Adams, for his suggestion of new signage aong Hwy 49 during winter blizzard events causing highway closures. His recommendation, as reported in the Mountain Messenger is, "Keep Driving and Join the Donner Party". We <3 it, make it happen, sir! Here is another couple of sign suggestions: "Keep Driving and We'll Find You Next Spring" along with this gem, "Stupid is, as Stupid Does". On a serious note, if I-80 is closed, than more than likely Hwy 49 is closed as well and trying to get over the Yuba Pass in a blizzard is about as smart as placing your tongue on a metal flag pole in sub freezing temps. JUST DON'T DO IT! Edited January 19 by Subdeacon Joe 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few miles ahead of the Boarder Patrol check station on I-5. One if our friends, a 6th or 7th generation Californio about seven years older than me kept trying to get them to stop him for immigration check. Never happened.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I was bicycling in South Texas, IIRC it was a long stretch southward toward Presidio, ultimate destination would be Big Bend National Park. A vehicle going North stopped and a couple asked me if I had seen any Border Patrol. I wonder why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the original it was a heart image. One of the conventional keyboard images. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Then there was this DUMB @$$ that the news tried to make into a hero when it was his stupidity of trying go around winter road closures that got him and his family into danger to start with. Family Rescued After Being Lost in Snow for a Week : Storm: Soldier walks for help after leaving his wife and baby in a cave. All three are in good condition.

In my case, it wasn't so much the staff, it was the Citizen Advisory Groups that would create these sort of monsters and elected Councilors who chaired the meetings and went along with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Certainly, why would you take the recommendation of specially trained professional staff over a shrill Karen or Ken with a half baked, cock-eyed idea or an axe to grind ! I made myself unpopular in a couple of circles, but I had become fire-proof for a number of reasons LOL Edited January 21 by Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
