Signs You're in Maine

Signs You’re in Maine


Maine’s got some pretty wild road signs. Some are odd. Well, odd to anyone who lives above the 45th Paralell. 

Look out for roadside skiers.

Or odd to anyone who’s never buzzed by the Amish on a two lane road.

Look our for Amish.

Look our for Amish.

Or had a deer hitched in back, and hit another on the road.

Look out for deer.

Look out for deer.

Because they were sliding out of control down Dead Man’s Hill.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Luckily there was a full crew and fire engine just down the road.

Look out for firemen

Look out for firemen

Back on the road. Oh great, more moose.

Look out for moose.

Look out for moose.

And then … what? What does that even mean?

No Jake brake please.

No Jake brake please.

I figured out that a Jake Brake is actually a nasty noise that a diesel truck will make when slowing down. Hmph. How about that?

    Way to go, Diesel. No wonder John Riggins is your favorite. One of mine, too.
