Does something look odd about the apparent placement of this sign ?

I was in a place that I wasn't supposed to be at when I took this picture.

Hard to get to this spot but the view is worth it.
Mission Valley is beyond the low hills and before the mission Mountains in the distance.

Lots of motorcycles on the high-line yesterday. Something must be going on somewhere.

.......Come on you guys and gals...................it's STURGIS TIME!!!!! August 9th to Aug 15th. This is 70th Anniversey of the ANNUAL STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY................... They have been coming up through the Bitterroot on US 93 for the last 10 days. Saw at least 30 come through today.

Attendance info: In 2000 the attendance was approx 600, 000.
In 2005 attendance was 525,000.

This year they expect 450,000 to 500,000.

Edit: To give you an idea as to how big this event is: In 2008 the "Taxable Sales" of (from) Vendors for this event was 14.3 MILLION dollars.

So you can guess how many bikes are (and have been ) on the road!!!!!!!

Thousands and thousands get there two weeks ahead of when the Festivities begin. Space (anywhere in that area >STURGIS/DEADWOOD<) is at a real premium............

In Bozeman once, something called the Wally Byum (or something like that) Caravan chose us as the spot for them to congregate.. We had something like 1000 airstreams dotting the landscape.. Can you imagine if the bikers and the airstreamers met up and got into a rumble. .. Now THERE'S a fight I'd PAY to see.. Bikers against an army of feisty "on the road" retired people......

-------------------------------------------------------

The two masses of men and machine race towards each other.. Countless outlaws riding their Harley's like horses, swinging lengths of chain.. And coming at them .. a sea of glistening silver chariots.. White haired ladies wielding iron frying pans, and balding men brandishing barbecue utensils..

A cloud of dust a mile square .. a deafening rumble filling the air .. and the ground shaking like an earthquake.. A fight for the ages..

The dust slowly clears .. the glint of sun on metal as barbecue utensils are deftly spun and returned to their proper places on belts, like a gunfighter returning his pistol to its holster..

"C'mon mamma, we have to get to Billings before the bingo starts."

"One minute, pappa .. I just want to get a souvenir." ...... "OWWWWW"

As the last airstream fades into the distance, there is movement in the field of broken bikers..



...... "OHHHHHHHH" ... "WHAT HAPPENED?"

... " I've never seen anything that fast!!" ... " It was like 500 Bruce Lees with nunchucks .. only I'd SWEAR they looked like oversized forks and tongs with wooden handles."

... "SHE RIPPED OFF MY EAR !! ... AND SHE FED ME MY CHAIN !!"

... "Anybody know what a hooligan is .. or a whippersnapper?"

... " I don't know, and I don't care ... I'm just glad they're gone... Let's get the hell out of here."

... "There's a big campout goin' on up the road a bit .. let's go kick us some cub scout butt."

...... " YEAH !!! "

... "What if their grandparents are with them?"



... "You know, we probably oughta get our bikes back home and tend to THEM first .. before we do any butt kickin."

... "Uhh .. yeah. ... Good idea."
