Nice shot Mike.  What's with the arrow on the sign at the portal to the left?  Thanks for sharing.

Its a low clearance sign for the highway tunnel. The arrow is pointing at the low spot on the tunnel ceiling where the height was measured.

The Google Street View from the photo location shows how the zoom lens makes this shot look like it was taken from deceptively close. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.6910559,-121.284071,3a,21.4y,110.07h,86.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfM_6T5V6l9tXjKV4hwgK7Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?coh=205409&entry=ttu
