In 2016, Jim Walmsley was on pace to set a new Western States 100 course record. His first time running the race, he had dropped his pacer by this point and was running on his own. He missed the turn up the trail and continued down the Quarry Trail until he reached Hwy 49 and realized his mistake. He went on to finish the race in 20th place and learn that crucial turn to be able to set the course record (14:09:28) and win it three times. This corner is now known as Walmsley's Turn. This photo is from a spot shortly before the turn.
