Highway One, south of Lompoc on March 7th, 2001.

6.81" of rain the preceding two days. I ignored the "road closed" signs and was able to walk past this closure.

Remind me not to try to conserve headlight power on the above roads.

Or you can simply open the Advanced Editor and click on the paperclip icon.

No external photo host needed.

Thanks. Unfortunately, my two pothole puctures seem to have expired.
One was a pothole repair truck, stuck in a pothole.
The other was a pothole filled with water. In the pothole was a car. All you could see was part of the trunk and the tail lights. The rest of the car was underwater.

Not quite a pothole, but it does show that sometimes heeding the road closed sign, and not relying on a local's knowledge is the prudent thing to do.
