Title: Sore Finger Road
Post by: Max Rockatansky on May 27, 2023, 04:26:46 PM
Put something together for the origin of the name "Sore Finger Road" which can be observed from Interstate 10 west of Phoenix:

No worries, truth be told I've had trouble tracking down the alleged rock formation.  I once took my truck down Sore Finger Road towards the Hovatter Airstrip around 05/06.  I recall not finding too much that would have suggested why the road was named like it was, granted that 2015 was some time away.
