And yes. He’s taken a Carefree Highway picture, too.

Interesting how bright he moon was that morning at 1:30AM in 1978 or did Rick have a really super duper camera perchance?
Easily explained Gord wtote the song before the Sundown album came out in 1974 so the photo above scanned from the Songbook booklet was obviously taken on another occasion!!
32 years later and a rather different signboard
And another taken by Mr Google's camera just last April
yes that is a bridge for the Highway in the distance
