We took the back roads on our way from Las Vegas, Nevada to Palm Springs, California and after a few hours of nothing but desert and mountains this confusing, colorful sign appears as if it wanted to wake you up from the hours of nothing.

It is located on Highway 62 at the turn-off to Iron Mountain.

I didn’t find out and I think nobody really knows who added the first hand-painted mileage sign to the telephone pole at this location, but as you can see, people like it and it has become a popular place to add a sign declaring the direction and distance to people’s favorite places.
