Much of the graffiti features vulgar words and depictions of male and female genitalia. But a lot of it is also very clever and colorful. When I first got there I was disappointed and thought I had wasted my time, but after turning around and heading back, it was easier to see. It seems that the graffiti is more visible when you are driving along the road and the sun is behind you. The entire Spray Paint stretch of road is probably two miles long. At the beginning is a sign stating that loitering, drinking, and painting the road are prohibited. Naturally this sign had been vandalized with spray paint as well.
