ok so we got the "hook" in Carp...right before you catch Highway 150...I love the hook and the roadside fennel...bees like fennel so well....leave it alone CALTRANS

| mountainside north; oceanside south |
now the Lagunitas development was supposed to remove the hook when it was built but it didn't happen so I'm pleased...the fancy-planned huge campus didn't materialize instead some houses were built while a big swath of land waits to be bought or leased....remember, we have limited water so keep your goals grounded in reality

| bee and fennel at the hook |
the Highway 150/101 interchange was the start of a deadly accident..a 16 year old kid took the northbound exit ramp as a southbound onramp and started towards LA...but he hit a truck head-on around Bates Rd and died....
he drove the wrong way- an activity made popular by Travis Armstong during his News-Press days..perhaps the News-Press could be liable
the online media sources covered the story and then Billy Mac over at Noozhawk corner of State and Mission started complaining about some of the opinions/comments people were posting on the Noozhawk site...Billy called some of them trolls for suggesting the alcohol or drugs may have been involved in the crash...so what Billy, you wanna censor opinions now?
and this from TEXAS?... lawyers-ready to blame the truck driver!!! obviously this lawyer never drove the 101 by Bates Road....there's a bit of a ridge and curve there and wrong way driver can come up on you quick....
Commentary
There are still several unanswered questions here, and we’re going to have to wait until authorities complete their investigation before a way forward can be determined. However, I will say that despite the fact that the victim was driving the wrong way on the highway and in that way was in the wrong, it wouldn’t give any oncoming traffic an excuse to just run into him. It’s possible that if it’s found that the truck did anything wrong, that the driver, and by extension the trucking company, could be found partially liable for the accident. I have no reason to believe that this is the case, but it’s a very real possibility.

unbelieveable...
but I decided to take a look at the hook and the route the kid possibly drove when he mistook the off-ramp for an on-ramp....

| pygmy pines hurt the eyes |
as I come down from Ojai-way, a blanket of fog covers the road and I see a bunch of pygmy pine trees planted by Caltrans five years ago...these trees were part of the native plant kick and now serve only as a distraction..so CALTRANS may be liable for obstructing clear views of the signs and ramps....chop down those little fuzzy stick-pines..they don't belong there....besides they interfer with the ocean vibe...
I get to the interchange and see a bunch of signs and exits and onramps...if I'm a 16 year old kid, at night, in a hurry I could possibly get confused and turn into the off ramp....but I'd have to be in a blur to do that...the Wrong Way Red Signs are clearly visible...was this the first time the kid traveled around here?? he was obviously disoriented..but always, the mountain side is northbound; the ocean side in southbound
who knows what happened..the CHP will investigate and GOD I hope they don't find the kid was under the influence..except of being under the influence of being 16 years old....
but to try and foist blame on the truck driver....only a lowlife lawyer would do that.. a lowlife Texas lawyer
