...well, part of one.

Did some exploring off trail on my fat tire bike today. Was way off the beaten path and thought I saw a piece of trash in the leaves so I Just kept riding, but something told me to take a closer look. Couldn't believe what it was, a 1920-1930s Purol porcelain gasoline sign! It was repurposed at some point, part of the sign is missing and the edge is bent like a flange. Still a cool find. Anyone else ever find an old sign in the woods?

I was miles away from any private property. The nearest anything was an abandoned railroad grade a few hundred yards away. That's why I thought it was pretty strange to find an old gas sign in the woods, out in the middle of nowhere.
