| Here's one you don't find just anywhere: a sign announcing the availablility of alternative fuels, at exit 527. In the home state of Big Oil no less. And, yes, there is a follow-up directional on the exit ramp to reassure the LP motorist that he is not about to have to rely on the ol' Chevrolegs to make it home. In the background: the standard brown highway sign for state parks and state agribusiness concerns, this for the Texas Freshwaters Fisheries Center. |
