Signs

Gotta write about something.  Don't I?

Well, not any more!  I can just post a bunch of pictures of stuff, bind it with some sort of what some people would call a "theme," and limit my actual typing to wry comments and a weak intro.  Wednesday night, here I come!!!

Nevada has a lot of signs that not only raise the ol' eyebrow, but also serve as a reminder to me that...yeah, Nevada is awesome.

For example:

 The road dipped about three inches.  We still yelled "Wheeeeeee!!!"

(Clayton Valley, East of Silver Peak on the Goldfield Road)

(Yes yes!!! That one!)

Trying to get to Divide I had to take this road. 

The road tasked me with its original Eisenhower-era asphalt.

(Old US 95 South of Tonopah)

This is either when you know you're alive...or you find religion.

(SSR 82 cut-off from NSR 376, heading to Belmont and Monitor Valley)

An elk bit my sister once.

(Steptoe Valley)

OK, I admit I was taken aback when I saw this South of Denio

(in what is technically a part of the Black Rock Desert near the Quinn River).

But antelope really aren't that rare in the lowlands of Nevada and we

could probably use more of these.

Besides...an antelope bit my sister once.

I wish I could say random signage like this is rare.  It's not.  

Just ask Iowa (I'm on West 320th street and I've seen corn for the last 2.5 hrs!?)

Seeing this as a turn-off from the Soldier Meadows road onto a Jeep trail?  

Worth the time it took to get unstuck from the mud to get the picture.
(Black Rock Desert, Humboldt County)

The only remains we could find were a pile of asbestos.

Seriously.
(Flanigan, Washoe County)

This has always been one of my favorites, especially since it was

almost an accident that I found it...which I wouldn't have if some 

guy from Idaho hadn't tried to run me off the road on Adobe Summit.
(Mountain City Highway, Elko County)

I...I...think it speaks for itself.
(Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park...Near the Mass Ichthyosaur Grave)
