Do Not Drive on the Runway


According to Wikipedia ...
"Memaloose Airport (FAA LID: 25U), is a public airport located 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Imnaha in Wallowa County, Oregon, USA."

What is left out of this description is that ... it's in the middle of nowhere!

I know I've posted this sign before ...
But I just have to revisit one of my favorite signs of all time!

 

This picture was taken back in the early 1980s by my (ex) husband while taking a sight-seeing trip through Eastern Oregon with my fabulous B-I-L Alan.

  3. There is an airport like that here in Cambodia. Tucked in the middle of nowhere. It was one interesting plane ride, I kid you not.

  4. So fascinating! I have not seen such a sign before! I just wonder why anyone would be driving across a grassy area like that!

  7. Me again, was just wondering whether I could 'borrow' the You Laugh image, as it made a really impression on me.

  8. You can see some strange things out in the middle of nowhere!
    Re the chicken head pecking at the heart - now that you point it out, I see a cartoon rabbit carrying a heart...

    I guess it happens

  10. Great sign. I once flew my plane into a small grass strip in MN only to find three small boys riding bicycles up the middle. I had to go around, and by the time I had lined up again, they were gone. Bet I startled them.
