A National Park says “Buy a keychain and please read our Interpretive Signage, penned by three people with seven degrees.” A National Forest says “We haven’t maintained that road since Carter, have fun.”- 12x9x1 ½", aluminum or handmade wooden frame- Glazed with thick, transmissive chemcast acrylic- Powered by standard outlet or USB- Includes dimmer switch, hanging cleat, desk stand- Made to order, ships by UPS, you'll have it
