Driving
along H01 in Alger County last week we came upon an unexpected sign
in the forest, a very folkloric-looking sign. It stood out amongst the
trees and vegetation of the Hiawatha National Forest and I had to stop
and grab the camera while Gene and Willow waited patiently in the car.
My guess was that since we were definitely in Finnish-settled land of
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan the language of the sign was Finnish.
What does it say?
If you have very good eyesight, you
might be able to read the English in the lower right hand corner of the
sign. I don't; so when we arrived home I went straight to Google
Translator and was startled by the translation possibilities. See for
yourself what I discovered is the translation of
Harran paska puro.
You can see the creek in the second and third pictures. It doesn't look
quite that bad to me! OK, OK, it is a little brown.........
