I've been hunting but it is years back. If I find it, I will send it to you! Haven't seen me much? Two weeks ago my daughter and family arrived from Colorado for their annual two week visit. The next day the youngest tested positive for Covid, the following day everyone else. Don and I still negative ... but can you imagine the whining of a seven and a nine year old not allowed to do the things in Maine they wait for every year? We have so many stars in our crown!
One of my two Covid projects was to find as many of the historical markers in New Hampshire as I could and photograph them. Of course we could not find them all but for my husband and I, who only moved to NH in 2018 (after many, many vacations), it was a great way to learn the geography of the state, as well as some history fragments. Opposite to your NY state experience, I was excited to find that little pullover areas were cleared for each marker. To this day, we continue to look for them. I attended a talk by Michael Bruno, who wrote a thick guidebook about the markers.
Getting back to New York state, though, I grew up in New York state. I heard through the grapevine that a marker was newly placed in my hometown. So I pulled up a map of NY state markers and there are SO many that it would be impossible to find them all!!! And especially since the parking is not provided. New Hampshire does this so well!!!!! And the number of markers is completely do-able.
Now ask me about my other Covid project - covered bridges. :-)

Oh no that's the worst, poor babies! I hope everyone got through health-wise at least!
They did and I will take them to Logan to fly home at 5:00 tomorrow. It will be memorable.
Completely not related, but I just sent you a messenger note.
Responded.

Cant wait to read them!
I see the history signs and always want to read them, but most of the time there is nowhere to pull over or park.
Isn’t it annoying!
I came across the sign doing research for a short story. And, that is an awful situation.
Would love to read the story!
