This sign says it all!

I found a sign the other day
It was near the place
Pierre,Kevin and I
found another for sale lot sign
That said "I B 1"
Maybe it was a synchronistic?
Of a time to come?
But that sign was no more than 100 ft
To the entrance to Brown’s lake
That I noticed immediately
Just laying on the ground
Maybe one of our ancestors had pity
To prop it up on a small tree
So it wouldn't be lost forever?
Like all the trees surrounding it
That will be erased by a highway
Steamrolling it's way up north?
Even more synchronistic
I must have walked over this sign
At least a dozen times
In my many excursions
In and around Brown’s lake
Down to this exact route
Into the beautiful Valle Verde
For over 25 years and counting..
What a revelation this was!
At first I thought this sign should stay
Exactly where it was found
But Ian Huggett from Eco Watch
Who has been a local hero to me over the years,
Thought it was best to rescue it

At he end of the media photo shoot
I asked Ian if it would be OK
To donate this recued sign to the SOS cause?
He graciously agreed, it's not like he owned it?

This sign resonates for me
like when I was a boy scout leader
And "Be prepared" was our motto of the day
Though I was never fully indonctrinated
Into the Military or PS equivalent
I carry on the simplistic and frugal life
That is a testamount to my brothers teachings
And my university and life's experience
Wherever we camped or inadvertantly tread
That we should leave it cleaner before we arrived
Than after we left - big to smaller footprints
Some signs and simplistic mottos never change
