There are numerous warning signs on the road, long before you even get to the road (Bear Camp Rd) that they were going to take to the coast.

We're talking BIG bright yellow signs. You would have to be blind to miss them, even at night.

Granted, we all make bad decisions at times. But I still can't wrap my mind around why someone would, at night in a blinding snowstorm, take their family consisting of a wife and two small children on such a drive along a one-lane backcountry USFS road.
