Here is the google street view now
Ha! Great find. I was dreaming of saws-alls and sledge hammers to fix that. Now I'm off the hook. Although, I still want to visit there!

Nowhere did I write that it never existed. And I don't believe one can rationally argue that it was meant to be used in that configuration.

Moreover read the OP again. The second sentence is in the present tense and refers to dealing with a condition that, as was later revealed, has not existed for some time.

R.I.F.

So exactly which is the fake statement you are talking about?

OP said, I'm not sure how that thing is supposed to be navigated. Is that a fake statement? Then he made a joke about practicing bunny hops. Is the joke a fake statement? I'm not sure how you define fake news. But I would expect there to be something fake about them...
