Bailey Island's major intersection


This sign just cracks me up! First of all, it has only been a few years since we had names for our roads on the island. They were established for 911. Although I am sure it has made the UPS guy happy. This is the only "street" sign the State decided was necessary on the island.....for the life of me I cannot figure out why. The island is only 2 miles long, and the speed limit is 30 mph. I would think you could read the signs as you were driving, without a "warning" sign from the State. And, of course, we named our "road" a lane. It is Log Cabin Lane, not Log Cabin Road. The Log Cabin is the only property on this "road". But, because we have 3 separate buildings, 911 wanted us to name it and number the buildings. So, we are 5, 7, and 9 Log Cabin Lane. But, anyhow, thanks to the State DOT for giving potential guests fair warning that the Log Cabin is coming up on the right by the oncoming curve! So, now when people ask where we are on the island we can say right after the new curve sign, instead of half mile past the bridge!

So, we open 83 days from today. Come see us! All for now, Sue
