As you travel around you do get to see signs that make
you stop and think! Sometimes a sign is just plain weird.
It is always interesting to see the way retailers "package"
their goods - combinations you wouldn't normally think of.
I didn't get a photo, but it was a bit surprising to find
pharmacies also selling cigarettes! Quite common here.

Just outside of Lake Tahoe, at Eldorado Hills, is this
"airpark" where you have to share the roads with
aircraft. A bit unexpected the first time you see a plane
taxi-ing towards you!
|
In Las Vegas, you sell what sells! Souvenirs and alcohol!

Hunting season had just started when we got to Idaho.
There were signs welcoming "hunters" and others
directing you to hunting sites.
|
This was in the BassPro store - with great merchandise
for the fisherman, camper and/or hunter. The flash made
the sign difficult to read so I had to add in the "d"
and "r".

|
In the high desert you had to beware of the wild burros
- we actually never saw one!
|
In Lafayette they ask you nicely to obey the law.
|
|
|
|
|
In South Dakota almost every service station is also a
Casino. That means that they have a "slot machine"
or two in a room labelled "Casino"!
|
In Dallas they know how to keep the boys under control
on Friday night!
|
|
|
|
|
Such a nice town - they even identify the drawbacks to
the town!
|
We must come back tomorrow for the free crab!

New Orleans
|
|
There were a lot of very distressing signs - leftovers
from the ravages of Katrina.

|
|
|
There didn't seem to be many facilities available anywhere
in New Orleans.
|
I don't know if this was written by one of the rescuers
- letting others know about what they had found OR maybe
it was to discourage looters!
|
|
|
|
|
The bottom of the "cross" usually told of how
many bodies had been located. Here, someone was rescued.
|
Not a lot of tolerance for looters!
|
|
|
|
|
Not here either!
|
A heartfelt plea from someone to rescue a "good dog"
they had been forced to leave behind.
