Nature is nature. If they are meant to die then let the bastards die. Again my whale story gathered no interest. So I told Poke goodbye, made my deposit, noted the time, then hopped into the wagon and headed around the rotary to the fish pier on Route 28 called Orleans Road to the north. But the state green and white road signs say that I'm heading on Route 28 south.
Visitors complain about that all the time.
The state highway people get blasted all the time by tourists or new arrivals. A spokesperson says that Route 28 originates in New Hampshire near Lake Winnipesaukee and winds south through Massachusetts and on to the Cape and then east in Falmouth to Chatham then north and disappears at the Fogcutter Restaurant in Orleans. No matter what direction it goes it still is Route 28 south. It is the name of the road not the direction that dictates what is on the sign. Many a tourist has been lost and totally driven crazy by those wrong direction signs.
