South Padre Sign
Can you give me a clue to step two? Jump? Head between knees? Fire!?

NO PLACE IN AMERICA HAS THE VIEW YOU WILL SEE FROM THE TOP… At first reading, this sign on Colorado’s Monarch Pass, seems to claim the most outstanding view in the U.S. The view is wonderful, but not the best, even in the West. Then I realized that almost any fast food parking lot can make the same claim, or better. You won’t see exactly the same view anywhere in the world, the universe, or even whatever’s bigger than that.
At the port of St Anthony, Newfoundland, another odd sign caught my attention: WARNING! WARNING! Foghorn sounds without warning. Um, so, beware of sudden warnings?
Who am I to say it won’t have a sobering effect?
Have some more fruitcake and eggnog!
The enterprising roadside sellers near New Mexico’s Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, offer some tempting Native American creations if you’re up for shopping.
I noticed this notice at the Earthship Biotecture World Headquarters and Visitor Center near Taos New Mexico–definitely an out there kind of place.
Spotted on a magnetic sign on a pickup truck in desolation New Mexico: Lonesome Dove seeking country woman for dinner and dancing. Would you give roadside romance a chance?
