Yesterday we drove from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Redland, California, to get more work done on our new RV and my mind went wandering along the signs again. Here for your enjoyment is what I saw.
“Watch downhill speed.” Why? How fast can a hill go down?
There was a loveseat recliner sitting on the shoulder. Does that make it a roadside rest area?
We went through Primm again, going the other directions this time–from Nevada back to California. A big billboard suggested we “Get even before leavin'” But, we’re only down $2 so we aren’t likely to get closer to even than that.
“Autos towing trailers / Trucks/ 55 mph” We’re not either. We’re a motorhome towing a car. Next sign said “All vehicles / 55mph / when towing.” Think they read my mind?
A billboard advertising Calico Ghost Town listed three current restaurants plus campgrounds. What do you suppose ghosts eat and what type of campers do they use?
McDonald’s is advertising Mini Meals. They look like kids’ Happy Meals except without the toy. If I’m going to eat a Happy Meal, I want the toy!
“Outlet Center Drive / Right Lane Only.” immediately followed by “Right Lane / Only Slow Vehicles.” So no hurrying to the outlet mall.
In Victorville, California, there’s a Dale Evans Parkway and a Roy Rogers Drive. Everyone knows those two were married to one another way back when I was a kid. So why wasn’t her name Dale Rodgers? I know not all women take their husbands names now but way back then?
That’s enough of that! For now, anyway.
TTYL,
Linda
OK. I can’t let this pass after reading “zany brain.” A girlfriend of mine has this on her refrigerator: “Don’t let your mind wander. It’s too little to be out alone.”
Happy travels.
I love these type of postings. 😎
With your new rig, you need to follow the directions for trucks.
I seem to recall that Dale Evans had quite a career of her own before she married Roy Rogers. She probably wanted to maintain the distinction — even way back then.
I also liked the one about the roadside rest area. Ho, ho, ho.
Looks like I spoke too soon about the security working.
I wrote a nice comment, typed the two words, clicked the Submit Comment, and, poof, it was gone and noticed was added to your post. 8-(
