A Post About Signs

Since we're doing a lot of riding on roads (and I don't consider the routes we took into and out of Batopilas to be roads -- more like goat paths) and on bikes no less, you tend to notice things that you would otherwise miss in a car, truck, bus, etc. -- like signs, and Mexico has a proliferation of them.
