When we first arrived here in Palmyra, we were given the assignment to find and take pictures of every sign advertising our historic sites. Then last week, someone emailed our "boss" to tell him that one of our signs was broken. Turns out, it's a sign that no one in the office even knew existed. Elder Poulson and I did some searching around and found the sign. Here's what it looked like:
A few days later we returned with some help and put the sign back together. Elder Poulson backed the truck right up to the sign, stacked some 4x4s on the tail gate and then hefted the sign panel up onto the 4x4s. That put the sign almost where it belonged. Then the two men hefted and held the panel while Elder Poulson screwed some very large lag bolts into the panel. They placed several bolts in the repaired panel and a few in the other panels for security. Come spring, the sign company will do some touch-up painting over the bolts and it will be good as new.
