Another 36 statistic when will people’s ever learn ,its most likely the most dangerous road in calif
At the VERY least the most dangerous one in Humbug County!!!
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.
LOL Right on!
My morning belly laugh. Thanks!!
Right? 🙂
Seems to me it all ways is mile marker 13 wonder were that is .
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…..
It’s just the other side of the O’Dell bridge AKA the 13 mile bridge!!! ;-]
If mule trains could only use 36 Id be at a loss for the free bags of dirt I pick up on 36 from the growdozers going 70mph
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”!!!
