Do Not Circle the Wagons

By

Description

In the old westward expansion frontier days in the US, a wagon train of settlers would make a circle of their wagons when they stopped for the night...fires would be built in the middle of the circle, and the men took turns guarding from around the outer perimeter while the cooking, child-tending, socializing, etc. took place in the center of the circle. Today, to 'circle the wagons' means it's time to go on guard, to protect your situation from outside threats by banding together in a figurative circle.

Ha ha, I like the sign pictures you take.  Yeah, it looks like a grizzly went after the sign!
