some favorite road-trip signs:

fireworks tent in ontario, oregon:

Best Prices Anywhere!!! Fireworks & Fur

(so THAT’s why everyone’s always running over the Idaho/Oregon border to buy fireworks…)

a small creek in the desert:

Stinking Water Creek

(the only water for 50 miles in any direction. pity it was stinky)

journal entry painted on the wall of a historical museum in a small town somewhere in southern oregon:

“I must keep writing to remember who I am.” -Pioneer Woman

(apparently the plan didn’t work, since she’s now known only as Pioneer Woman)
