But strangely enough there is a similar sign at Point Wilson Rd where the Gooses ride was filmed. Also the Big Bopper coming out of the gate and the opening scene on top of the bunkers. That area was once a Ammo dump, hence the bunkers.

Re: prohibited area
The person that took the bottom ‘recent’ picture was facing the wrong way on the road. If you look at the movie still the poles holding power/telephone lines are the other way around.roadwarriormfp wrote:wow this is an old thread lol

Re: prohibited area
The sign I believe was a fictional one (just like the phone Johnny uses), meant to depict an area where law and order has broken down to the point it cannot be controlled anymore.
Looks like I got me some guzzoline eh....V-8?

Re: prohibited area
Looks like you are right - when I took the pics, I'd really just identified that as the most likely road, but didn't have any reference pics from the film with me, and was struggling to find many reference points on the landscape either. I really just took a few random pics to try and line them up with the film later. Will have to try and take some facing the other direction next time I'm down that way, if the poles are still there (the pics on the site were taken quite a while ago now, and there's lots of development happening in that area in recent years).TheDarkOne#1 wrote:The person that took the bottom ‘recent’ picture was facing the wrong way on the road.
