Exactly guys, it is indeed a reference to me. :D Who else would also go with their truck to the middle of nowhere to take photos of trains? ;) ( disclaimer - no, I do not look exactly like that guy with the camera :D )
I like trains. 🚂

...and trucks too. 🚛

Saw this mentioned in a few threads already but not in this one -- In the Oregon DLC, we know of the Timberline Lodge visible along US 197, but there's also a nod to its famous role in The Shining as well.

A bit further north on the same road, if you go to the Bushnell Farms depot (south of The Dalles), you access the farm by a side road. This road is blocked off past the farm entrance, but continues toward the direction of the lodge. A bit up the road, there's a brown sign saying 'OVERLOOK HOTEL'. If sticking to driving on roads, it can be seen in the distance from US 197 (though at a distance impossible to read), though you can see it up close if driving inside the farm itself.

I have the feeling there might be an actual bigfoot hidded in this redwood forest north of Ukiah. There is this gift shop, and it makes you think scs has hidded one. They have to!

I was able to capture the McCall Monster in an image:

This is real. After I took the image, the monster attacked and ate me. I shall miss me.

You're lucky, the best photo of the monster I've found is this one from the '30s.

Furthermore, I consider that I-80 across Nevada must be redone next.

Time to hunt for eggs in Wyoming.

I've found a secret road at Hoback Jct. It's an unnamed dirt road, and it follows the course of Old Yellowstone Rd., taking the player past the McBujo Land and Cattle Co.:

I found the hidden road to Buford Trading Post in Wyoming. Nice drive... and pretty long compared to most hidden roads.

At some point I'll do some free-as-the-wind driving to see if I can uncover some more secrets. I have a feeling there might be some west of Sheridan.

There are also some hidden roads around the ranch and truck stop west of Rawlins. Also in Rawlins, you'll find a Wyoming Wind Sock. Although this sign exists IRL, it's in Sundance, so I guess its placement in Rawlins could count as an egg.

Off-road figure 8 race track just on the north side of the gas station at T intersection for WY 789/220 just north of Rawlins. Access it through the gas station parking lot. At first I thought it was supposed to be an exit ramp back to WY 220 that was under construction but then it turned out to be a race track lol

This one may need to be removed. It turns out that Bubba Gump is a real restaurant chain, and this location in Santa Monica actually exists. I guess the restaurants could be considered real-world Easter Eggs, so maybe this could still be on the list.
