Back in the early 90s a Caltrans employee during his lunch break in uniform ….fell off the cliff ….he lived … but must have been hilarious situation explaining to his boss where he spent his lunch break


Must have been to close to the edge before viewing. Safer to stand back, squint and tell stories.


Did his binoculars get broken?


Must have been a real knockout.
