Maui and her signs


I thought I would share some of the crazy signs we saw on Maui. I have to apologize, I didn't get a pic of what might have been the funniest sign. On the way up to Haleakala there was a sign that said no left turn. The crazy thing was that on the left was a sheer cliff. Any idiot who thought they should turn left and drive off of a couple hundred foot cliff probably can't read anyway. We found this one while taking a walk through the middle of a rain forest. I never knew trees could hear. The problem is that you see this sign and then bust up laughing. Totally unquiet.

This sign might be my favorite. Most places that have warning signs usually say something like "this activity may or could cause death or injury". Not this sign, note the wording, "has caused death and injury". Now that's a solid warning. Check out the next sign.

This signs a bit hard to read. On the right hand side of the sign you can see two white pieces of paper. Actually they are actual parts of the sign, they are copies of newspaper stories from the last couple of years about people dying right there. Isn't that crazy! They don't just tell you it might be dangerous, they tell you how the last guy died.

This one totally baffled me. Papaya is a fruit. Why do they need a crossing for baby fruit?


I suppose there are reasons for all the signs telling people about the imminent danger they are in. Look at these yahoos and how little respect they give the posted signs. In the first one the sign says clearly points out that going past the sign near the blowhole is dangerous and look at those two. Then in the second one Kasey is using the moment as a a teaching tool for Ady to show point out what not to do.

Look Ady is already on her way to becoming a hardened criminal.

Nice signs, we love the "Quiet-Trees at Work" and the "Baby Papaya Crossing" signs, very inventive and cute.

Hi Adam and Kasey! This is Lacey, an old friend of Adam's from high school. I found the link to your page off of Natalie's.
Adam---I cannot believe you are living in Hawaii--loser. I have to admit to being completely jealous. Let's see some pictures of your surfing skills.
Congrats on becoming a papa! I hadn't heard. Ady is adorable. We also have one little boy and another on the way. If you're bored, check out our blog at www.themcmurrys.blogspot.com
