You see some crazy stuff in the desert... seems like the more remote you get, the crazier it gets! So here are a few crazy desert signs I've seen. I'll start with my favorite first... this is a collection of signs way out in the middle of nowhere (which makes the collection seem all the more strange). People have added on sign after sign (and even a mailbox!!) to this desert pole to the point that it is totally full now!

Bouncing around in my Jeep today and ran across this one in the Joshua Tree area. What the heck is a "Contamination Field"?? That big blue dot on the left is a large mirror. Pretty sure this sign is a hoax but decided to honor it rather risk the wrath of Julia!!
WARNING: Skip this next one if you're offended by profanity! Saw this cool little desert cabin up against the rocks today in Joshua Tree... but very clear the owner doesn't want visitors!!
Time for one more. I took this one almost a year ago, and I was very cautious as I got out of my Jeep to take the photo. The last thing I need is an annoyed "craze" person taking a pot-shot at me!!
Hope you're having a great weekend and have time for some photography!
I like the last one best. Might put that to use for myself sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteGreat signs! I wonder what came first - the craziness or living in the desert!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the flickr recommendation.

Mmmm... really good point Stewart! Note to self: Avoid the temptation to post signs on my property!!
DeleteF.A.R.T. 59 ml... hmmm, I wonder... yes, crazy, indeed! I'm thinkin you should be very careful runnin around out there in the desert! YiKeS! =0
ReplyDeleteGreat shots again. What loneliness can do or of course king in our own kingdom. Thanks for showing
ReplyDeleteWell, the desert around there sure attracts a few unusual characters! Love the totem pole of signs!
ReplyDeleteYes, the desert has always attracted "unusual" characters!
ReplyDeleteyou really need to be careful out there! :)
ReplyDeleteTruly amusing. I even liked how the one either chained the tires together to keep people out or to keep them from being stolen. Still missing the desert, though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you were in an area where a LOT of crazies live. Stay away or you WILL be contaminated----with what? no one knows.

Oh my goodness, you had a field day with these signs. Love them all with their crazy warnings. Gets one's attention for sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I think I've seen old, abandoned shacks like the third shot in remote parts of Death Valley. I suppose because these places are so remote they seem abandoned - and if the inhabitants want privacy they've got to do something to get the attention of possible intruders. The crazier it is the more likely it is to work, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all those desert signs... keep the f out, well they've probably had too many trespassers... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #69!
ReplyDeleteGreat signs! A few gave me a good chuckle!
ReplyDeleteThose are great sign finds!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment on my Weekly Top Shot. I've added your blog to my follow list...your header image had me at "...so you will see a lot of desert photos!" (We lived in AZ for 9 years and are looking forward to returning there.)

Ha ha - wonderful signs! And so picturesque.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection. I guess I would obey the signs too, just in case. :))
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of signs!!
