Don’t blame Hwy 36 because people can’t drive, more people are killed on Hwy 299 and Hwy 101..

36 should only be open to horse and bicycle traffic.
It would help the river, plus it would make for some classic pictures of Bulgarian mule trains hauling dirt out towards the pines.
The comments would flow like a tsunami with pictures like that.

For some reason people see a tight stretch of road with trees lining it and think, “indy car!!!”, you factor on the amount of terrible drivers we have within our populace and walla…..

I should be so lucky!!! The las time I got any Free Bags of soil was when a truck hauling some up the Hill rolled over in front of the store in Swain’s Flat was either just after or just before the name changed from “George & Connies” to “Swain’s Flat Outpost”!!!
