Extraterrestrial Highway Sign

As of mid-May 2017 the Extraterrestrial Highway sign at Rachel is fairly new and almost sticker-free. There's an easy pull-out at the sign.

The Extraterrestrial Highway is marked by two signs: one here, and one in Crystal Springs. This one has a more alien-looking landscape for its background. Both are routinely assaulted with stickers.
