After a short hiatus I will returning very shortly with many new photos. I also have several new 360s and a video from Devils Kitchen.

An Oldsmobile lays within Platte Clove

Platte Clove Road and it's Seasonal Road Sign
Over the past several years I have been taking photos of the road signs that have been posted at the top of Platte Clove Road. The notable changes in the road sign photos below covering 2005 through 2009 is the monthly time period which covers road maintenance and the allowed weight limit for a vehicle. Currently as of May 2009 there is no seasonal road sign posted on the top of Platte Clove Road. 5/31/09 9/25/06 10/27/05 6/25/2005 Read More →
