All roads go east:


Not quite on the road... I didn't even see the sign until I came out of the restaurant.




Not unusual but I thought it illustrated the "colors of danger", along with the destination in color of safety.

The sign was located at Blankenship Bridge, which is the back way into West Glacier, MT. Recommended for bikes to avoid a shoulderless stretch of U.S. 2. The shot was taken in '99. The sign is long gone.

Not sure if it is still there.

Thinking of Italians, ever wonder why these haven't taken off in the USA?

Just in case you were thinking of chucking jetsam...


Drunken driving on the other hand...


There wasn't a sign when we entered the zone...


I've cycled past this a few times, and still always get a chuckle...
