would enjoy on his bike. It’s a scenic 16 mile single lane road with a steep canyon descent through a set of one-lane switchbacks on both sides of the canyon. With no turnouts you have to keep track of each slightly wider area in case you have to back up if you meet another vehicle. I had to do that once to let a small car barely pass me. It’s a nerve wracking and exciting drive.
The road crosses the Tuolumne River at the Wards Ferry Bridge, also known as “Graffiti Bridge”; it’s entirely covered. Worth a stop to relax and enjoy the “artwork”.

NEXT CHALLENGE:
Your 4Runner with some interesting graffiti. |
Morons and their graffiti. I can appreciate graffiti art where it's invited but tagging stuff just to show that someone no one cares about was there and blighting public& private property, natural landmarks. etc. is dumb. I also see some talented graffiti on rail cars that amazes me and I don't mind it so much.

Yeah. This road gets so little use, and is such such a PIA to patrol, that I bet the LEOs have sacrificed it to the local tagger kids. I thought it also might be a partying spot but I didn’t see any telltale litter. Except for the carcass of a car in the river.

That "spray paint on the road" thing feels like a California thing. I've never seen it anywhere else. Locally they also like to fill balloons with paint (think water balloons) and then hurl them out of a moving car so they explode on the road and make interesting spatter patterns that Dexter would jerk off to.
Not the challenge pic, just a random 'graffiti on the road in Laytonville Calif' pic...

Interesting graffiti
This old RR bridge across a corner of Humboldt Bay is a medium for local taggers

And apparently I forgot to post a new challenge.
Your 4 wheeled conveyance with a mural that does not have a human being depicted on it.

Murals without people. Admittedly the first pic has humans but I liked the mural.
Next challenge: Based on inspiration derived from the "Everything Mushroom Parking Only" sign in the second photo, your motorized conveyance with some type of fungi, algae, or moss in the photo.

Here’s a chunk of sandstone with a leafy lichen growing on it, from my recent trip to SW Utah. As a bonus, it’s on the bill of my Fungi hat.
Next Challenge: Your 4 wheeled vehicle next to street-legal electric vehicle. No golf carts allowed.

Haha! Yeah. Got the hat at the Santa Cruz Fungus Federation’s annual Fungus Fair. It’s held every January. With covid, looks like it won’t be held in 2021.
