What would the cost to replace all the signs be, and what would be accomplished by doing this?

Would you do it all at once, or in increments, such as changing speed limit signs first? Or the temperature?

Would there be a way to retrofit older cars with KPH more prominently displayed?

No matter what you steak a pop up canopy with when I’ve camped at Maryhill state park our canopy stayed in place but poles were bent and ruined from the wind. If not sitting in camp chairs fold them up and place inside tent or vehicle. I’ve been and everything is susceptible to blowing away. I love the Gorge and it’s so beautiful but because of the wind I probably won’t camp there again.

I didn’t get cold the air feels nice usually when temps are warm, depending on seasons. But for me the chaos of the wind feels chaotic and difficult to relax and enjoy calmness because it isn’t ever calm. It’s almost like constant chatter going on in the background. And then there’s the chasing after anything you forgot to weigh down.

I have camped at Lincoln rock state park and it was calm during the day but when the evening rolled around the voracious crazy winds came and taught us a lesson or two about wind and camp set up.

It is windy. 35 mph gusts aren’t in the least bit notable. The chairs and table will probably be fine, the canopy might not be- certainly plan to sand bag it and know you could end up with a ripped top. Hazards of the gorge.
