Some years ago, I traveled through a county in eastern Kentucky, in the Appalachian Mountains region, where there were a great many landslides affecting the highway. I don't know whether the soil type was to blame, but every mile or two there would be a place where either one lane of the two-lane highway would be partially blocked by a slide, one lane showed signs of subsidence, or one lane was partially or completely missing, having slid down the mountainside. Only about one-third of the slides had official warning signs. I would argue that this whole stretch of highway needed to be tagged as having a high risk of landslides, rather than only tagging the places that had already slid, since the latter would be perpetually out of date. No official signs stated "risk of landslides" -- John F. Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
