Maybe this is why we don't do a very brisk business??? Nobody knows where Asuncion is! I LOVE this sign and up until recently it was the only sign on the road into here!

Hey we found Asuncion for the first time late at night (ok maybe not that late we arrived at Shari and Juans at around 10:30 11:00 pm, and we had even had a few beverages, as well as driving a little ford focus car!

I'm not sure if you'd call this a sign, but it was on a post beside the road :lol:

EMAM,

Love the Black and White!

EMAM - 4-27-2008 at 08:54 AM

Thanks Diane, I was bored the other night and thought I'd play with some of the thousands of images we have from our Baja Expedition.

As I edit them, I'll try to absorb some more of the bandwidth here on this site :lol:

heading south from todos santos there are 2 famous curves. the first is curva del soldato, now bypassed but still full of crosses and wrecked vehicles below. named after the road was improved and paved. A soldier was the first to die on that one.

Further down is one we and the locals call la curva del cemento. so called because cement trucks regularly loose bags on it and over the years the cut wall of the curve has taken on a nice cement quality from the numerous impacts. a small local ranch nearby prides it's self on being almost entirely built a little at a time with these lost bags.

Any way the guy has a sense of humor because one day a truck loaded with eggs smashed and burned on the curve. The next day there was a great hand made sign that said:

"Huevos al carbon gratis" cracked me up and now I wish I had taken a picture

Not Baja, but at the other end of the La Paz/Topolobampo ferry. Don't let those pesky recommendations from friends fool you.

Unfortunately, the Jawbone Canyon billboard has been removed. I don't know why but it was gone the last time I went by there.

Skipjack Joe - 5-16-2008 at 10:36 PM

Right you are. You probably pass her on the way to baja from Carson City.

We always stop and pay homage to the lady on our way to Death Valley. She's sort of landmark in our small world, I guess. The eastern sierras come after her. Just as baja starts at El Rosario.

Don Alley - 5-17-2008 at 07:19 AM

My favorite Montana sign, from the valley with a famous trout fishing river

I have done some military aircraft crash research in that area. It's a great place to explore

Donna-Moe's Pizza across from the square in Mulege.

A favorite breakfast club for many years...and a handy spot for an old friend to set a spell.

Like Dominoes up north, the pizzas were ready within a half-hour.....uh...or so. :rolleyes:

I know this is a super old reply but I just looked through all these great signs and images. This would be the entrance to "Buzzard's Bar & Grill" on the lower east cape (page 4). I agree, good food, margaritas and nice clean cabinas...

I can't believe noone's posted the "no trespassing"signs on the dirt road to Cabo Pulmo threatening prosecution from "INS and the IRS to the full extent of the law".

It was our first day, we missed the photo opp. We were there in Dec 07.

Bob H - 12-18-2008 at 08:15 PM

Love that weather sign. There used to be one of those behind El Candil in Mulege at one time. It had added one more line at the bottom... "If the rock is blurry, you've had too many margaritas!" Or, something like that.

Driving through the town of Flippin in Arkansas resulted in the next few hours of comments like "Hey hon, I'm headed down to the Flippin Store for a cold one, want anything"

Or "I'm going to the Flippin bar again" or stumbling in the door and getting asked "Where have you been all night?"

"What do you think? I've been at the Flippin bar"

We LOVED that menu and wished we had taken a photo. We quickly figured out young donkeys, but the other took a little time.

It is ala plancha. Ala for wing and plancha for iron. Computers do a great translation job! But the menu was fun to read.

I had to resurrect this great thread and add a few of my own favorites.

This first one is in two parts--first the building, then a close-up of the sign:

Abierto? Really?

There have already been a few of these posted, but as far as I am concerned, you can never have too many giant beers!

LisaR. - 8-14-2009 at 10:04 AM

Because I didn't even know that small dogs could be recycled!
