Just two months ago i made a trip to Villa La Angostura and Bariloche (roughly around 6hr drive give and take). It was a road trip. One of the many we make every 6mths. Its kind of like a little get away from the city and home and the animals. We usually drive up (and most times i would fall asleep almost right away).
Chocón is a city about 70km away from our starting point, I usually wake up only when we pull into the petrol kiosks to fill up so i usually miss these signs along the way. This round i managed to not only stay awake to catch the signs but throughout the whole drive up.
So anyway more about Chocón, its a city where fossils, bones and even real footprints of dinosaurs captured in rock have been found. There is a museum that houses the Giganotosaurio Carolinii , a predator somewhat similar to the T-Rex, but much taller (5,5 mts), longer (16 mts), and heavier (10 tons). You can read more about the discovery of the Giganotosaurio Carolinii here – NY Times
So on with the real purpose of the signages, i now present them to u.
Sign 01
Notice how the first sign shows a bite mark…..followed by
Sign 02
2nd sign shows a dinosaur with its jaws wide open showing ferocious looking teeth….
Sign 03
then 3rd sign with a dinosaur biting onto the sign that welcomes one to Chocón.
I found it hilarious and cute and thought it was a great way to advertise and promote the city.
