What a difference two years makes.
I’ve driven Mokee Dugway on Highway 261 countless times and I remember always seeing a few stickers on the sign at the top of the switcbacks, but I wasn’t prepared for what i found this past May on my drive to the top. As you can see in the above photo, the sign is nearly completely covered with stickers from passing tourists. I wonder how long it will be before the Utah Department of Transportation replaces the sign and the process starts all over.

At least the sign is not blasted with shotgun holes! I like the new sign better than the old. I wonder how long until it is replaced?
That is amazing!! Pretty brave people getting that close to the edge…………
If it does get blasted with shotgun holes I’ll be sure to get a shot (pun intended) of it.
