Strange Counter box(?) Along Side Gold Hill General Store...

[Mark1955]

Yesterday while out passing through Gold Hill I noticed this strange (counter box?) along side the General Store. Anyone know what on earth it is? Also, the roads out there are a mess! Looks like they had some flash flooding very recently. Several spots on the Pony Express trail are also in the same extremely poor condition so use extra caution while out in the Clifton, Gold Hill, Ibapah areas

Interesting. I'm guessing that it is a motion sensor.....

Yep, it has an IR sensor then relays a signal to someone monitoring it... Someone is either counting the number of vehicles that pass that point or for some other reason monitoring the road usage...

I bet they just want to show that not very many people use the road so they can close the whole area and designate it as wilderness. Wouldn't surprise me.

Stu if you only knew how close of a prediction that really is.
