Great eye and wonderful shot Dustie. My grandpa told me to leave all gates as you find them

I can agree with that.
I take it that comes with knowing some of the joys and trials of handling well-used gates.

Thanks.
Sounds like your Grandpa was teaching you the standard etiquette observed by those who live and work in "gate country".
Signs in some of these areas which have increasing recreational use by those who are not from the non-urban lifestyle, sometimes are effective, sometimes not.

What I always called "Farm Rule Number 1". My "Farm Rule Number 2" is: "If you plan on eating it, don't name it"! (My sister made that mistake...) Of course, Number 3 is "Watch where you step...."

Your rule #2 reminds me of the genuinely anguished drama that erupted at the supper table one night when a young boy in the house where I lived during jr. high, found out the meat on the platter that night was from one of the critters he had named and treated as a pet.

Several years ago I was driving a big rig/53 ft trailer and I had a delivery in a back road near Livermore, Ca. When I entered the property, not only was it a dirt road but I encountered a gate with a sign that read "Please close the gate behind you so the cows don't escape". Just lovely since I was driving a 72 ft long vehicle. That was fun, especially the dry water crossings.

Sometimes big rigs do get dispatched into places that were never designed/meant for big rigs to be.
Or, I've been in spots where the design is fine, but the area gets used for "storage" making a nearly impossible obstacle course for even 40's or 45's to make it through, never mind the 53's.
Then, other times.....well, you just shake your head and wonder...

I travelled that little road in a pickup, about 25 or 30 years ago. What that news clip does not mention is the road is not straight on either side of that narrow bridge. It curves tightly from following the canyon wall, goes across the bridge which is pependicular to the canyon, then curves back along the canyon wall on the other side, making basically a horseshoe bend there. (That driver had to exit from the major state highway in the area, disregard the signs about vehicle size restrictions, go up the canyon on the increasingly narrowing roadway....the mindset of GPS knows best?....or? )
