It's 2 or 3 feet tall. Temporary concrete "Jersey" highway barriers: http://www.belson.com/Concrete-Security-Barriers-Highway It's a convenient place to anchor the tarps. However, putting all that weight on a crumbling roadway does not seem like a good idea. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't what? Doesn't anchor the tarps or doesn't seem like a good idea? Please eschew posting ambiguous obfuscations. Maybe the idea is to be sure it takes the plastic down the hill when the road gives way. Nope. Might be a trampoline to catch erratically driven vans trying to jump the gap. Hard to tell, but it does look like a fun ride. Did you or someone imply that some pictures on the web had location data that you or I could extract? And then go to the place. Guilty as charged. That was me. Most web photos do NOT have EXIF information. I use Irfanview for photo editing. It also has an EXIF viewer and editor built in with links to various mapping sites. http://www.irfanview.com You'll need both the program and the plugins. Save the image to your machine, feed it to Irfanview, hit "I" (for information), and you can figure out the rest. I couldn't find a decent video or tutorial so here's what it should look like: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/crud/EXIF%20Info.jpg Use the buttons at the bottom for mapping. Enjoy. Incidentally, that's how everyone found out that John McAfee was in Belize. He posted some photos with the EXIF info was not removed and that included the location data.
