This week’s Photo Challenge is The Sign Says.
Kayaking out on open water, we meet few signs. But as soon as we come in to land, signs abound. Some of them do their best to be unavoidable. Nevertheless, we sometimes manage to avoid them—
Some years ago, Erik Baard and I paddled down from Manhattan and landed on the beach near the northwestern tip of Sandy Hook. We had a leisurely lunch, took a stroll along the beach, lazed about, and after a couple of hours were ready to paddle back to Manhattan. But just before we launched, we thought that we might, just out of curiosity, find out what those two big signs that stood there, facing away from us, said…
And not far from that spot was another, complementary set of signs that helped complete the image of Sandy Hook, at least in those pre-Hurricane Sandy days…

Wait. Does this sign come after the Judgment Day sign?

No, it came before. So everything is in order. ;-)

Maybe it’s really for keeping you from visiting the nude sunbathers in Sandy Hook! Oh no that’s right, Superstorm Sandy wiped that out too! Ugh! That girl was vicious!

Actually, we haven’t paddled down to Sandy Hook since Sandy. But we’ll be going soon, perhaps as soon as this weekend, and then we’ll see :-)

I love that picture of you! Although it does make you look a bit like a mad scientist. On second thought, maybe you ARE a mad scientist.

I am a mad scientist, but that is not me in the picture. It’s Erik, the way he looked more than a decade ago…
