Sheepherdes Right of Way

The sagebrush covered valleys of the Intermountain West harbor much animal life and hold panoramic beauty unrivaled. To the uninitiated or the hurried traveler the miles stretch monotonously until the road signs of "Fearless Farris The Stinker" strikes the curiosity. The ex-sheepherding Stinker kids the natives and Tourists Flora and Fauna  with numerous signs that eventually lead to the Big Skunk Signs that identify his, "horribly dignified", modern service stations.

Imprinted on the back is a message about Hurricane Hazel, the most deadly and costly hurricane of the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season:

Dear Friend:

     Yes, The Pink House, and we, personally, survived "Hazel" — barely scratched! Ocean Highway 17 is now open all the way and is the best way South. All services are again normal; and finest accommodations enroute.

     We want you to come again, soon, and tell your friends to also.
