Doug doesn't appreciate it when I make comments about driving past the Road Closed sign...so now when I do, I put in the warning...
I'm talking about the Road Closed sign down at the Turnout...there's also a gate there, but it's rarely locked...mostly in the Spring when Inyo and the FS are clearing the road (again, this is an opinion...that's the only time I've seen it locked).
Read the bottom of
this document for the official Inyo County stance on signage...
I've seen Inyo Deputies/CHP twice on WP Rd (during the closure)...I got the fine from Inyo...probably more than 15 years ago...(I think 5-6 vehicles got tagged that day)...it didn't stop me...
