EXPLANATION:
…Back in ~2004, The existence of this “Checkerboard Legacy” Sign, became known to me, while I was looking for the presence any buildings along this stretch of road:
….I was doing a Google Street View “Drive”, click, click, down from Lolo Pass.
……AND the /\Above/\ Photo shows Sign I saw here at my WayPt =264, also the 3 Signs seen in the PREVIOUS THREE Photos.
….But because GSV was not clear enough, just what the sign said was a mystery, until by pure accident, I found the Above /\ Photo posted, as an extra, on a Google Satellite View for Lochsa Lodge, which included ~300 photos added by interested persons.
….You will see two more of these ~300 photos in forthcoming photos.
