This Way Thurs-Way!

I think we were on our way to Williamsburg, VA when I spotted this. I don't know what that means, really. Please enlighten me.

Thanks!

cherie said...: oh wow! i thought of it that way, but i wanted to hear others' opinions. too! thank you, ms. carmen!; September 24, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Anonymous said...: What does it mean? Gas bottles? If it's drinking bottles, it would mean they will be keeping an eye on drinking drivers.; September 24, 2009 at 1:24 AM
cherie said...: i don't know, sweetie. it is very strange, and somewhat alarming to me.; September 24, 2009 at 1:33 AM
cizrein said...: a gas bottle?.. hhmm?.. may be its a bottle that has gas in it so you'll have an extra gas available in case you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere with no gas station.. haha.. LOL.. duh, that sign makes me dumb..; September 24, 2009 at 2:36 AM
Deb Murphree/Alabama Politics said...: Hey Cherie, I am from Virginia, and I have never seen a sign like that in my life! LOL..It must be something pertaining to flammable items you might be carrying in your vehicle...I cannot imagine anything else it could mean? Like RNSANE said, hazardous material, or something to that effect? If you happen to find out...let us know, ok!; September 24, 2009 at 3:27 AM

Tink *~*~* said...: "Gas bottles", well I guess that would be bottles made of gas, but how can you inspect them when a gas is typically colorless and therefore not visible? Sheesh!

;-)

thanks for playing!

HappyK said...: I think they are talking about the gas bottles that are on RV's and other vehicles. Its like the kind you get filled for gas grills.
Usually the signs are before tunnels, just want to make sure there are no leaks so it they are safe.; September 24, 2009 at 7:01 AM

Unknown said...: Actually those are pressurized propane or butane tanks, usually found on campers or mobile homes. Since they are pressurized and you are entering a military area, they might be used as a destructive device on bridges or tunnels.; September 24, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Ayie said...: i think for those who carry spare gas bottles or jugs with them. Might be subject for inspection for a safer drive.; September 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Ayie said...: i am really not sure if that's it but who knows? hehe; September 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Unknown said...: gas bottles?! that's a strange sign. well, if you're a terrorist carrying a bottle with toxic gas, would you stop for inspection? :P; September 25, 2009 at 2:53 AM
Anonymous said...: I hope they didn't mean laughing gas which is orange? coz I don't mean to put it in a bottle. Hahahah...nice post cherie and thanks for supporting Tink on our meme.; September 25, 2009 at 7:02 AM
