Off The Beaten Path

Here is a really cool article about arrows. Giant arrows.


And planes!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

  1. Ho-hum. Articles such as this bore me to tear. Tears I tell ya!

    Excuse me as I go reread that to make sure I didn't miss anything. And I wonder if I can find any forgotten beacons.

    1. Wouldn't it be great to be out hiking someday and stumble across one of these giant arrows? Before reading this, I would have created a heckuva story to account for them being there, in the middle of nowhere.

    2. Another interesting thing to do is follow the route of old US Highways. Once I went to a lake and there were the piling to an old bridge. I did some research and found, as I had suspected, the bridge -- which had been bypassed -- was dismantled to get the metal for use during WWII.

      Another time my brothers and I went to explore an old train tunnel. We went down an old road to get to it. One of my brothers was able to date the road by the paint stripe. Lots of places in Washington Stare where you can see old roadway, or at least the paths of them.

  2. It was certainly interesting, a small part of history that few know of. I surely did not, until now

  3. I'm not saying aliens built the arrows...

    ...but aliens built the arrows.
