Sign Spotting: Wild Animals on the Golf Course

I thought I’d start the week with a few signs I spotted while in South Africa last October. I found them on a golf course. And when they say Wild Animals, they’re not talking about bears and raccoons or even gazelles and birds. They mean real, dangerous, wild animals.

So, where was I? Did I spot any animals? You’ll find out later this week here at adventureswithben.com. And starting April 19th, we’ll be celebrating Africa Week here at adventureswithben.com. Non-stop game viewing all week! Be sure to come back and visit!

I’ll see you out there…!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted interesting signs I’ve spotted throughout my travels. While I was at the Calgary Airport in Canada I came across a sign on March 13th taped to a Coca-Cola vending machine.

Perhaps the gurus in the marketing department could benefit from an intern to draft a new sales campaign. Or maybe operations could fix the machine? Just a thought…but what do I know about vending machines?

Quick, get out a map. Can you find the easternmost point in North America? Go ahead, stop reading and find it.

Back?

Were you able to locate it?

On my trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland in Canada I was told that Cape Spear is the easternmost point on the continent of North America. It was about a 20 minute drive from my hotel and I didn’t have a rental car! It would have been a shame to come this far and not make a trip out there. Fortunately, my host graciously offered to drive us to the cape. Watch this YouTube video to see what I found…

Sign Spotting in New Orleans

Parking Garage Sign

I’ve never been in a parking garage that has a bathroom. But that’s not what this sign means. Allow me to translate for you… “Don’t pee in this garage!”

Yet despite the tolerance towards drinking, there is little tolerance toward public urination – and with good reason I might add. Many merchants post signs that say restrooms are for customer only. Or even worse, there are no public restrooms at all. So what’s a person who’s doing the tinkle dance to do? Enter the parking garage…
