Sign Salvage

[DJV]

Managed to surface & recover this sweet, 2-sided porcelain sign. At 4'x8' and 200 lbs., it was quite a chore getting it downriver to an area where we could remove it from the water. She cleaned up real nice!

I find it hysterical that you would find a sign that says B-A in the water!! Around here everybody had a BA, short for bare a$$ and what we called our summer swimming holes. "whaddaya wanna do today, its hot! Let's go down to the BA and cool off." was a common conversation, and we'd grab our bicycles and pedal over to our spot on a creek, strip down and jump in, no swimsuits necessary.

Great sign, I do love the old porcelain signage!

Hah! That's a much better use for the letters than "British - American"! Can't say I've ever heard of the ol' swimmin' hole referred to as a Bare A$$, but it's a great term.
