this is the hideous first post of the AARoads Shield Gallery blog … well, it’ll be part of AARoads’s general On the Road blog, but it’ll be the one visible by default by people who click on the “Blog” link on the shield gallery. I will be posting photos of my driving adventures across the country (and, occasion, around the world!) – it will focus on highway shields, with the occasional excursion for scenery and old bridges.

I’ll be posting photos old and new, and here to start us off is a sample of a highway sign. Yep, it’s painted directly on the road, somewhere around Amboy on old 66 in California.

Onward, then!
