The second part of amusing signs I’ve seen over the years of my outdoor and related travels in nearby towns. Read part one here…
_____
- Not sure if it is THE WORST, but it is certainly up there. Being so close to major metro areas no doubt, makes this area infamous for the weather. See Not Without Peril for the classic book about this area.
- Where’s the trail?
- I rarely (ever?) take state crossing signs, but I thought this Texas border sign pretty cool.
- I love northern New Mexico and Taos in particular. Even the alleyways celebrate the art and culture of this community.
- While on a ski tour, I saw this sign on a snowy forest service road that became popular with off-roaders in recent years. Many who became stuck. As we’d say where I grew up? “Wicked smaht!“
- An artistically done, don’t-get-off-the-trail-sign.
- Oh, the scourge of ATVs, mountain bikes, and jeep going into our designated wilderness areas. Oh, and strollers, too!
- No drugs, I’m afraid. But some oats for you ultra-thrifty dirtbag hikers on the AZT!
- No drones, please.
- The mountains still don’t care!!! You’ll find this sign twice at either end, by trail, of Flattop Mtn.
- Where does a moose park? Wherever it wants!
- Yes indeed. Unlawful AND awful.
- For obvious reasons, I found this sign on a trail in New Mexico pleasing. 🙂 Being a bit more serious, many Italian immigrants mined and worked the railroads throughout the Rockies. Unlike enclaves such as the northeast, Chicago, and other places, these mainly young men did not put as many roots down and is a lesser-known part of US Western history. Places names such as the “Little Rome” mine in Colorado serve as a reminder.
- Across the Pacific Crest Trail in 2002.
- Loved this trail marker on The Florida Trail!
- Disco is not sure he wants to “Embrace the Brutality” of a sweat-soaked bandanna standing by two short guys.
- Words of caution I did not question not too far from White Sands.
- A closed bridge in the snow? If only I had some sort of gear that would let me easily glide over the snow???
- A sign of the times at The Valley of Fire
- Cold beer makes a just reward after a day of trail work!
