The way the snowplows have artfully and skillfully carved around the snowpoles and signs...
Sometimes the snowplow drivers have been smartasses though.
Oh...did you want to make a call at one of the last surviving, and the only payphone booth in several hundred miles...? Just to be extra dickish, this particular pay phone is also a Geocache.
In Lee Vining the icicle crop is just grand, thank you.
And at the bottom of Conway Summit, some crazed skiers have been trying to die by skiing a sheer rock field that terminates ON the highway. Not just a few times, either, as you can tell by the tracks. These folks made a day of it.
At the top is 395, which curves and drops a few thousand feet in very short order.
At the bottom is the highway again, very suddenly.
The rocks sticking out are just a warning--this area is solid loose rocks the size of your head and fist. Don't know why someone would risk good skis by skiing here, it's damned dangerous in about 9 different ways.
At any rate, driving 395 in winter is a real maybe/maybe not kinda thing, depending on the weather and your nerves.
