When I was a kid, Mom made it a part of my education that we stop at every marker we came across. Many fell into the "On this site in 1874, Mrs. Johnson's laundry fell off the line" category. Dad's comment after each and every stop, "Well, we've seen it".

There is a marker on one the small islands on the Noden Causeway, east of Fort Frances. I forget the name of the French explorer, there is scratched graffiti not complementing him.
Two messages there.

Interesting. There was graffiti on the trash can next to the one I posted about. That in very rural Kansas. I'll try to take some more pics next time in SW Nebraska. There were some pretty cool ones up there.

heck Geno... in my travels over that way, I found an old sign off of a wagon....said "We don't rent pigs" on it....
wonder what that was about? Didn't by chance find the part that read "Hat Creek Cattle Company" did you? Or this part of the sign.... "Uva uvam vivendo varia fit" ?? It's just a MOTTO, it just says itself....McRae You don't know what it means either.... Call classic!

Cool stuff folks. Here's one in my area. On Fandango Pass going over the Warner Mountains: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hGSHsJ5W/IMG-20190828-104356187.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/13htmZv7/IMG-20190828-104443263.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/x16Fn9RL/IMG-20190828-104617186.jpg) The E Clampus Vitus plaque was a bonus I wasn't expecting to see. Geno The Clampers are big on maintaining and developing historical monuments here in California. A more eclectic group of men you'll never meet.
