AtoZ Challenge 2021 – Signs Signs – The R Signs #atozchallenge

I have fallen a few days behind on my A to Z posts this year, but I will get them all.  This year I am doing signs that I have seen across the country.  This post will feature signs associated with the Letter R. ENJOY THE RIDE!

We can’t avoid signs.  They are everywhere.  Advertisements, informational signs, directional signs, business signs and, sometimes, even humorous and fun signs.  Each of my posts in this years’ challenge will feature a hodgepodge of signs I have come across in my travels.  In most cases, I’ll also note where they were taken.  Some were actually inside of shops or otherwise, so not all will have locations.  I hope you enjoy this fun trip each day of April.

I am gonna start off big time with this one – lets get some Restroom signs in here.  Y’all know that on a road trip, a pit stop or restroom break becomes imperative after a few hours.  Well, I have gotten a chuckle out of some of the ones I have seen over the years.  Check these out!

The sign at The Thing in Dragoon, Arizona is one of my all-time favorites!

Bathroom Humor – Keep the Restroom Clean – Seen at the Story Inn in Story, Indiana
Bathroom sign in Davenport, WA (Part 1) – Restrooms for customers only
Restroom Key – Davenport, Washington — I obviously purchased something and became a customer.
Whatever you are….wash your hands. COVID is floating around. Restroom sign with an alien.  Saw this in Cuba, Missouri
Now becoming more common. I chuckle with the half-dress and half-pants character. – I have seen this and similar signs in numerous restrooms across the U.S.

I have a Big Moon…so I am happy that they had a Big Moon Restroom

In my P post, you saw the Need to Pee? sign that I posted from Hopland, California.  Below is the rest of the story!

Weird Restrooms sign – Real Goods – Hopland, California
This is one of their weird restrooms

Saw this one at an antique shop in Tightwad, Missouri.  This was in the midst of the COVID pandemic and many were actually closed.

We all like to know the Restroom is open!

Some places make sure the restrooms are easy to see!
