I have a bad feeling about the events here.
On Wednesday, 4/4, SammySam asked about the road. So I hunted down the number, and spoke to the road foreman. And then I wrote:
"
The gentleman I talked to asked me to pass along that the "Road Closed" sign really means the road is closed."
On Monday, 4/9, this was posted:
"
Friends just got ticketed yesterday by the CHP for bypassing the sign and parking at the Portal."
and another wrote:
"
...likely they received a complaint."
I have the feeling my phone call triggered the entire situation.
You can be sure people going around signs happens at places other than Whitney Portal Road. This sign was being ignored by a few people on Monday when I was there. I sure hope my posting this here doesn't trigger an official response.
