Title: OR: I-84 missing exit
Post by: jlam on June 22, 2024, 09:07:15 pm: Exit 41 along I-84 in Oregon is missing. This exit serves a bunch of trailheads.

Post by: rickmastfan67 on June 22, 2024, 10:18:58 pm: I think the reason we don't have that one, is because you can't turn around and go back in the opposite direction on I-84.

HOWEVER, I can see an edge case that if you were dropped off there, and then picked up around Exit 44 after following the trail (or vice versa).

Because of that, I think it should be added, unlike a 'regular' rest area that gains an exit number, but doesn't have trails that go elsewhere that you could be picked up at.

Would also need to be added into US-30's file too.

Well, we can override that now. Especially since we've proven that it's entirely possible to get off there, and go a separate way if you're hiking or bicycling.

Post by: Jim on July 13, 2024, 09:13:55 am: Also I think a lot of the reluctance to add anything like this to CHM was to try to stay within server constraints that TM overcame long ago. I see no downside to adding them.

If my buddy lives at the bend in North St in Sherman, I can pull over at ME I-95 266 and he can walk through the woods.
Or I could hit a moose and get airlifted to Maine Med.

I guess I could have requested a point here in 2015 when my previous car got towed using the private overpass. (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0500014,-78.5256519,3a,75y,308.79h,97.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgpPhLdnnYcyiLubzr2DNlQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu) :-X :-*

But none of these are 'legit' exits for trail heads. ;)

These OR ones have full exit signage. ;)
