Here's Your (Strange) Sign

With apologies to comedian Bill Engvall, here are more "Here's Your Sign" entries. The No Parking and Authorized Vehicles Only are both from Valley Forge National Historic Park. With a solid wall of forest behind, it's no wonder there is no parking or access, I guess.

Engvall is coming to York's Strand Capitol Performing Arts Theatre, Wednesday, December 15.

Private Property is from near Colorado's Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge. Since the sign is the only sign of civilization, I wonder what it's protecting.

My favorite, the Shoreline and 193rd Street sign, is at the intersection of two dirt roads in the middle of Kansas. To fully appreciate the sign, you must understand that 1) it's rural Kansas and the closest water would come from a spigot at a house miles and miles away, and 2) this sign is in the middle of nowhere, and I could drive for an hour before crossing 193 streets. 193rd Street? New York City it's not.

Nice to see some people still have a sense of humor--whether it's intended or not.
