Out west, they put them on the side of hills and mountains. Most towns in the Northern Nevada and the surrounding area still have them; usually the high school seniors or a similar groups will go out and repaint them every once in a while.

Here's the one from my home town:



The TS wagons are pulling out the 15th day of May ...    :lol:
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
