THE ACFT WAS HIGH & FAST ON FINAL APCH & TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RWY. THE NOSEWHEEL TOUCHED DOWN 1ST & THE ACFT BEGAN TO PORPOISE. THE PLT APPLIED POWER TO STOP THE PORPOISE, THEN ELECTED TO GO AROUND. IN ORDER TO AVOID TREES NEAR THE END OF THE RWY, THE PLT TURNED RIGHT TO WHERE THERE WAS A CLEARING FOR A HIGHWAY. HE THEN MANEUVERED TO AVOID A BIG CAMPER & A POWER LINE, BUT BEGAN LOSING AIRSPEED. FINALLY, WHILE TURNING BACK TO THE LEFT, THE LEFT WING HIT A ROAD SIGN & THE ACFT CRASHED.
