A long way from where I started

Nice summer day in the middle of the Northwest winter, so we headed for Index. Up from the car park, and about to cross the train tracks when I noticed something odd about the railway-crossing sign...

Yes, right in the center of the "X" someone had stuck on a small comment...

I hear that a Sonora pass guidebook can be used for home defense in case your shotgun jams.

A sign of territorialism that makes surfing so unfriendly.

Plenty of rock in the world.

Thanks for the fine print Tami.
I was wondering what the basic gripe amounted to.
You can still walk to the upper Town Wall and have plenty of space to yourself.
When did climbers become such a whiny lot?!?
Jim- Wine without the whine always works for me. As long as piss isn't involved, stains on a guidebook add character. On that particular guidebook are you sure it isn't blood?
