Every traveler needs a map... (11- 26 - 20)
This (above) is the map I used to hunt down the Historic Signs of Kansas ... that I've chatted about a time or two in recent weeks here on the ThumperGarage. At one time, more than 100 such signs lined Kansas roadways to educate the traveler about what happened in years past at the very spot that they are standing. Who knows how many people have viewed these signs? I located and viewed maybe 75 -80 of them, and many are gone, why, no one knows, it seems...
Take a minute and peruse the above map. Note that I named the routes by the shape the route reminded me of ... like star gazing, which we talked about earlier. Why did it, the actual map, show up now, one might ask? Well, we had an opening for a photo, so I jumped at the chance to share this valued memento of almost 5000 miles of Thumper riding, mostly in the month of Sept, 2020. The idea was to search out the sign, read the content, and photograph it with my motorcycle or part thereof within the photo frame ... all for one solitary point in our local m/c club's annual point contest.
Did I win? Ask me after January 7, 2021 ... Does your state have similar signs? Could be a great way to get out on that Thumper in 2021. I'm jus' sayin' (grin) - #000.
