The interstate turnoff for California's Donner Lake apparently has dining options, which the lake's namesake pioneers might have appreciated.
Chew on this: A photo of a freeway exit is going viral because of its apparent connection to cannibalism
On Wednesday, the Placerville office of the California Highway Patrol posted a photo on Facebook of the Donner Lake exit on Interstate 80.
The lake just happens to be named after the Donner Party, a group of Midwestern pioneers who were forced to spend the winter of 1846–47 in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Legend has it that some of the members survived by eating others in their party, though a more recent archeological study turned up no physical evidence of cannibalism.
