Deceptive Highway Sign Traps Tourists On Samonen Peninsula
The state highway department moved signs to show lodging and camping options on the Samonen Peninsula but placed them beside a deceiving turnoff on Highway 200. Canadian visitors Mr and Mrs Irv Holland of Calgary followed the sign and drove into cedar swamps, then escaped with a tow after a minor mishap. Deputy Bob Rice says the misdirection has caused two similar incidents and widespread confusion. The department says moving the sign further down the highway would prevent more accidents and better indicate a quarter mile turnoff.
