Great to hear some LEA enforcing 36. Who? Last I heard CHP were too afraid; and the chase it was westbound. What LEA is westbound on 36? I see FOPD in the pics. Mile marker 15 would have been somewhere deep in Carlotta.

I once saw a CHP map of 36. Between Carlotta and Platina it was blank except for the note, “Thar Be Dragons”.
