Day 143
And a closer look
August 16th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Uh-oh .. a creepy message, they used bones to form the letters.
my thoughts exactly Gigi…. creepy…. keep walkin on by Matt…
I guess they have a different definition of “naked” from everyone else….
Jeeper Creepers! I’ve never seen bones picked that clean before…lol
Oh no, check the trees. They may need your bones to spell something else.
Them country folk know how to party!
Bigfoot Party….get naked or you be lunch!
ummmm….yeah I’d GET OUTTA THERE! yikes!
You’re not even near Rooster Rock (Oregon side) yet, huh? That’s where the nude beach is!
hahaha..My dad took me fishing across the river from there once, I had those little kid safari binoculars and was sitting on the shore trying to find “owls” (I never found an owl) but I did find a few full moons and so forth..I put my binoculars down and screamed at my dad…their all naked their all naked they lost their clothes!!!!!
Again – the bones! Keep on walkin’ Matt – quickly!
P.S. That’s more naked than I want to be, presently!
Ha! When I saw this one Candice after your previous post I laughed because there was reference made about naked to the bone. And then we see they are bones. Too funny and creepy.
What kind of animal bones are they???…or are they animal bones…ahhh…what kind of place is this anyway???…
If you hear banjo music…RUN!
i have a bone of contention with this photo. these folks had a bone to pick with someone, make no bones about it!
i’m curious to know why on earth someone decided to one: write a message in bones and two: why THAT specific message. could they not think of anything else to say?? strange..
Yes, agreed. Creepy! Keep on walkin’, maybe a little runnin’, away from this sign!
RUN MATT………. RUN!

(that is kinda creepy done up and bones and all!)
Bear spray alert. Bear spray alert. If it wasn’t a bear – you can take it down as if it was one.
Happy Halloween I suppose……getting naked to the bones…..dem bones, dem bones dem dry bones….
hehehe
I agree run Matt run and don’t take a nap ….. Be safe :)
Come on guys, I know some of you have gotten “Bare Boned”.
Kinda strange, very strange. Wonder if it said something else at one time and people have just rearranged the bones to spell a different word.
I thought about that too, Dorinda, but played around with the “bones” and couldn’t find a saying or word. It is scary…time to hurry on!
Oh! Maybe it is an ad for GET NAKED doggie treats? Amazon.com sells Get Naked Low Calorie Dental Chew Sticks for Dogs!!! That must be it. Ha, ha. All that scare for nothing! Although it would/could be considered “low budget” advertising!
They spelt it wrong. Supposed to be “nekkid”…
What ever it is wants you to get naked, so it doesn’t have to unwrap supper…… ZTHe animals are getting smarter ;)
:)
It seems odd that the author chose the message “get naked” since he was using bones as writing material. I could understand the phrase if he was writing with colorful panties or shoes found along the road. But why that message? If you’re using bones, why not say something bone-appropriate such as, “Grateful Dead”? Or “Live & let die”?
Great. Now I’m going to be thinking about this all day… ;)
I’d think it would be even more creepy and mysterious if panties or shoes were used to spell stuff. Not unlike all those human feet that washed ashore around the southern BC coast.
If upon closer inspection there’s a jawbone with gold teeth-GET RUNNIN !!!
Hmm. Very, very naked indeed.
