+SD Rowdies Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) HEY HARMON I thought an old codger like you might like these Vagabond, Thanks pal, I love it. As much as I was moved around as a youth those signs were a welcomed treat. The last real one in this area was heading west on old Highway 80 just before Descanso Junction. Sure wish I had a video camera in those days. Oddly enough I haven't looked into their history and so I will. Harmon ***** Way back in 1925 young Allan Odell pitched this great sales idea to his father, Clinton. Use small, wooden roadside signs to pitch their product, Burma-Shave, a brushless shaving cream. Dad wasn't wild about the idea but eventually gave Allan $200 to give it a try. Didn't take long for sales to soar. Soon Allan and his brother Leonard were putting up signs all over the dang place. At first the signs were pure sales pitch but as the years passed they found their sense of humor extending to safety tips and pure fun. And some good old-fashioned down home wisdom. At their height of popularity there were 7,000 Burma-Shave signs stretching across America. The familiar white on red signs, grouped by four, fives and sixes, were as much a part of a family trip as irritating your kid brother in the back seat of the car. You'd read first one, then another, anticpating the punch line on number five and the familiar Burma-Shave on the sixth. The signs cheered us during the Depression and the dark days of World War II. But things began to change in the late Fifties. Cars got faster and superhighways got built to accomodate them. The fun little signs were being replaced by huge, unsightly billboards. 1963 was the last year for new Burma Shave signs. No more red and white nuggets of roadside wisdom to ease the journey. A visitor to The Fifties Web contributed this story of a set of signs found in the Oregon wine country as late as 1986. She wrote me that "...two of the five signs were lying on the ground, and one was face down. I hoped the bull guarding them would be friendly as I reached through the fence to turn it over. (He was.)" The signs said, "Farewell O verse, Along the road. How sad to see, You're out of mode." As befits such an important part of American culture, one set is preserved by the Smithsonian Institution. It reads: Shaving brushes You'll soon see 'em On a shelf In some museum Burma-Shave Edited October 6, 2005 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

I'm making up a good story though....going after a Hazzmatt 5/5 cache with out the ropes sounds pretty good. But if you really must know I was in the desert on an adventure with 5 new caches to plant for the event. Fate intervined before the first one was placed. Anyone going down in the next week or so is welcome to take my already to go caches along with them....let me know. I'll give the gps a few more days to re-appear then I'll put my Visa card to good use. So for the next month or so, I'll be in Santee Urban Micro Hell. Quote Link to comment

Dang! I get the shivers just looking at those crutches much less the knee brace. Truly I feel your pain. Yes indeed, favoring your GPSr does indeed put you on my "She's a Ten" list. So there must be a story behind your condition or did I miss that? Don't suppose it has to do wth that two-wheelie thingy behind you in the photo? From what I can see it isn't bent or broken. Speedy recovery, I'll see if I can make it feel better in the photo. In fact I'll start a new section in my extensive photo gallery, a "Blondes on Crutches" section. Sorry about leaving the shadows on your face. Too risky to mess around with a woman's makeup at my age. On the other hand a biker's tatoo might add some interest to that shot. Whaddaya think?

That's a crusty looking bunch of old sailors I must say. Let me see now ... what was that Hemmingway story about an old man and the sea? Actually I know those waters from my high-school days as an albacore fisherman. One year the forty-footer inverted and sank at two in the morning. Terribly inconvenient but it got me off watch that turn. I really liked the part where we bobbed about in the ocean through the wee hours in a small inflatable with a bucket of seawater in my skivvy-shorts. We had book-matches for a signal light. Boy were we lucky that the rescuers found us. Well, it's a long story that made the papers, "Fourteen year old boy called hero of sinking," which triggered the labor board to call me and the boat owner in 'cause I was an under-age crewman. It was all part of my dear old dad's plan to send me away each and every summer of my teen years. I called those summers my "out-of-house experience." Not sure which was worse, the two years of albacore fishing or the one year of running a motorized chicken plucker on a Greek chicken ranch. Don't laugh, Greek chickens are mean as heck even after being boiled and plucked. Honestly, if you ever get a chance to spend a summer running a motorized chicken plucker don't do it. Later in life I realized that my dear old dad didn't expect me to keep coming home at the end of summer. He's ninety-two now and I could get even but I keep putting it off. Sorry, I digress.

I was a commercial fisherman, too, up in Alaska. Salmon seiner. Great work right out of college and a good way to have pocket change (and a new car) by the end of the summer. We even earned a broomstick on our mast - symbolizing catching 100,000 salmon in a season. Of course that honor came with 16-20 hours days and some "interesting" weather. Glad we did not go in the drink like Harmon, although we did run aground on a rocky shoal once. Problem up there is verrrrry cold water. You supposedly only have 20 minutes or so before hypothermia sets in. An accident more than 1/2 mile off shore was judged to be a terminal situation. We were lucky the tide (they run 20+ feet up there) was coming in when we got stuck. If it's an ebb tide, the boats roll on their side and fill up with water on the flow. Will have to swap real fish stories around a campfire one of these days. -GD P.S. Steelhead photo shows what I did on weekend time off with my trusty Eagle Claw rod.

Funny you should mention steelhead fishing, Don. I think about it every year when October comes. Back in the 80's when I lived in Eau Claire, WI, my buddy and I used to go up to the Brule River every year during this time of the year. The Brule flowed north and fed into Lake Superior. It was mostly whitewater and was one of the most beautiful rivers I've had the pleasure of fishing in. Anyhow, we'd fish all day and then grab of a bunch of beer and watch the World Series at night.
