Signs of the Times From 2025

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! We were on the road through the end of 2025 and rung in the new year in the camper. I hope you had an equally good way to welcome in 2026 and say farewell to 2025. It’s well past time to look back and see what messages 2025 had for us, or shall we say, what signs we saw. Here’s our annual look back at a few fun, ridiculous, useless, or apt signs we ran across over the past 12 months or so.

Not sure if this needs a comma, or if they really are that slow
I feel this one would be more effective if the order of the bullets were reversed (then… if you fail at bullet one, please refer to bullet two..)
It doesn’t appear they are expecting big dollars
I think they mean LACK of maintenance? By the look of the brush, it appears maintenance may be a long time coming
I always love a ferry ride
Is that AM or FM?
I’m going to say this sign isn’t very effective

Some signs offer guidance that should always be followed such as the following ones:

All times. No exceptions.
Some messages just can’t be repeated enough

And other offer a gateway into other worlds:


This one may be past its prime
I’m guessing this is a localized issue
It’s probably deeper than just the boots these days
What’s a guy to do with his spare animal parts?
When in Roswell, find this sign. You won’t be disappointed. Best. Donut. Shop. Ever.
I’m going to take their word on this one
Yes, we did actually see a coati cross right at the sign! A least someone can follow a sign!

And finally, one more that could be universally followed for positive results.

Have a great 2026. Warning: We have a lot of posts in the pipeline over the next few weeks!
