You know how you drive along and try to take in as much as you can? I even try to read the overpass signs. Being pretty busy in the moment, I caught a sign out of the corner of my eye....did that sign read what I thought it did? I chuckled and mentioned to Wendy what I thought I read. We both craned out our necks and squinted our eyes to view the far sign at the other end of the bridge. Pee-Pee Creek it proclaimed. LOL. What did it mean? Destined to Google it later that night, we traveled on. Here is the lowdown - Pee Pee Township was organized in 1798 as the first township in Pike County. The township takes its name from Pee Pee Creek, which was so named when an early settler inscribed his initials P.P. on a tree along its banks. Pee Pee Township has been noted for its unusual place name. It is the only Pee Pee township statewide. In 2020 a man biked there from Poo Poo Point, Washington, for a fundraiser because of the unusual place names. Don't believe me? Google it! Wikipedia! As a footnote, the suggestive power of that sign had us stopping at the next rest area. Well, maybe I did make that last statement up :) Next time through that area I'll take a picture of the sign! Our first stopover took us to Littcarr COE in Redfox, KY. We were tired at this point and didn't do much of anything but occupy space :) Only a 1 night stop.
