Burma Shave signs - Who remembers these?

I do remember all the corn cribs & barns being ad sign painted ...

Those are the areas I remember them in as well. I used to see some of them on family vacations even in the 70's. In the 60's we took a trip from Oregon to visit relatives in North Dakota and they kept us entertained. These days all the passengers would be too busy on their smart phones t notice. I'm so glad I got to make those trips where you had to actually be in the moment the entire time! It sparked my interest in geology, geography, and culture.

 

We did our family road trips in a 70s disco van, some of the best adventures a person can have! We went clear to Manitoba one year, Banff/Lake Louise another, Phoenix 5 times, most of the national parks in the 5 states, plus many adventures in our home state! I feel sorry for kids these days! We even took our sons on road trips when they were little, they still rember those!

 

Having been a military brat, long road trips back to Georgia were common place. Don't recall the Burma Shave ads, but I do remember the "See Rock City" and the"Ruby Falls" signs. Slug bug was outlawed by my father as they tended to develop into full out trench warfare between my brother and I. I also remember sleeping on the back shelf behind the back seat of my dad's Impala, or just watching the cars pass at night. That would violate so may traffic laws today that it would put you in jail for life.
