+GIDEON-X Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) This is a common sign found on many trails and roads coming up from Mexico........and yes one must use the proper care and caution when caching in the desert, along the line! (or any where else in the desert) [p] "Rough-Translation" (Cared for it expose not its life to the elements does not be worth while) In "Gringo-Parlance" Use caution, them critters are out there hiding, and they'll get you sucker. It ain't worth it (Death).... and plus all that there is no potable water to be found! Edited April 5, 2009 by GIDEON-X Quote
+Viajero Perdido Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I posted this on one of my cache pages. If you see this, you're already lost. Turn around. Quote
knowschad Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Phoenix, Az. Uh, I think I'll just pass on the hot dog, if you don't mind. Quote
+bflentje Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Phoenix, Az. What's just as good is the Do-it-yourself Pest Control sign in the background. Quote
+Search4Lancer Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 And of course these, from the same area. Not just out in the field like this, but along the road as well. Quote
+brainandbraun Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I've seen signs that say "burn headlamps when using wipers". Never understood that one, but I've never asked for a carry sack at the grocery or convenience store neither, nor have I ever mashed a button in an elevator. Quote
+jackrock Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I came across this road sign in the middle of a forest. Seemed a bit like tempting the fates. Quote
+pissedfish Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Phoenix, Az. What's just as good is the Do-it-yourself Pest Control sign in the background. I was lucky enough to get two stupid signs in one shot!!! Quote

+Castle Mischief Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Found these in Swaziland.... What the heck is a flatdog and why would it be a crocodile's flatdogs?? Quote
+The Jester Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Found these in Swaziland.... What the heck is a flatdog and why would it be a crocodile's flatdogs?? It's a lapdog - after the crocodile's lap has been on it... Quote
+saginawmike Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I took this one near the Mackinaw Bridge. Quote
+Mikkozzz Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 On your way to GCK6J3 you must pass this comforting sign Quote
n0wae Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 A few years back we were doing some 4WD caches when we decided to explore a side road. We quickly changed our mind: Quote
+Pork King Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Found this sign leaving a park after caching... This one isn't a road sign, but I found it in the final stage of a multi stage cache that I planned to find for my 500th cache. As luck would have it, a few days before someone had dropped off a TB whose mission was to be tracked down by me. Unbeknownst to me, my geocaching arch nemesis (all in fun) had found this cache just before me. This is what I found... The picture is my former avatar of a pig on a throne... Edited April 19, 2009 by Pork King Quote
+uws22 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) i know it isn't a road sign, but my tank pic from YPG was already used... Danger, Do Not Enter This Mine is Permanently Closed Thursday, May 17, 2007 If You Enter, You May Not Escape and You May Die Edited April 20, 2009 by uws22 Quote
+HeidiI Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) A little on the despicable side - but for some things, you just HAVE to march through the ditch to get the right angle... Edited April 20, 2009 by HeidiI Quote
+Fish Eagle Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Found these in Swaziland.... What the heck is a flatdog and why would it be a crocodile's flatdogs?? Flatdog is local slang for a crocodile. The apostrophe is..... well, African spellink tINGWENYA = crocodile NGOTI = danger It's a hot mineral spring, and the warning is very real - the crocs love the warm water, especially in winter. Quote
+tennisgirl42 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I found this before I started geocaching, but thought I'd add it to the list... Quote
WashoeZephyr Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 One of our local cachers "Applejohn" has a mile marker series around Lake Tahoe. Apparently people keep stealing the mile marker 69 sign, so this is it's replacement at Mile Marker #69: I actually think it's funnier! Quote
+do not resuscitate Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 DNF'd the cache but found these signs... Quote
+Team CeDo Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Found this one out in the middle of redneck country today Quote
darkangel313 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 It isn't exactly a road sign but my friend saw this van driving down the road that said "this van is being driven by a blind man" Quote
+Gamaliel Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Florida cachers are pretty familiar with Loop Road (the way to this cache) off the Tamiami Trail, a 22+ mile dirt road through the Everglades, with gators and swamp just feet from the car. Imagine our surprise when we saw this sign a ways down the road: Quote
+CabinMan31 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Saw this one on the way to a cache here in Marion,NC!!! Quote

+CabinMan31 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Sorry for the multiple posts ........computer acted up on me!!! Here is the bigger picture of an odd sign I have seen. And by the way,can anyone tell me what up with the "tadpole" thing in my profile box??? http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-sn...9_7340956_n.jpg Quote
+Lil Devil Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 And by the way,can anyone tell me what up with the "tadpole" thing in my profile box??? You're a newbie in the forums. After you've made some minimum number of posts (10?) then you get upgraded to "geocacher". If you pay to become a Premium Member, you can customize that line to say anything you want. Quote
+coupleocachers Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I mean, come on! We all know that micros are lame, especially drive by ones, but to have a highway sign for one??? See on 95 driving past, you guessed it, Micro NC. (Sorry for the poor photo, it was night and raining.) oh, that's just screaming for a film canister. Actually, I think a 55 gallon barrel drum would be better. There is a cache in Micro. It was next to the welcome center. Not sure if its still there or not, but we found it on the way home from florida Quote
+popokiiti Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Found a great one, and have a photo, but even with the help of the "how to post a photo" here..........still can't! Oh, to be technically savvy Quote
+Horticulture Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 We were driving through a local town here with a lot of caches in it and saw one of those signs where you make words by putting up individual letters. (There's a name for those kind of signs...it's escaping me...) Any way, it said: AMISHFU FURNITURE I'm picturing Amish Kung-Fu. I think it may have been pranked by kids because it was fixed when I went back a couple days later to get a picture. Quote
+NYPaddleCacher Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Saw this one on the way to a cache here in Marion,NC!!! There's a folk singer whose name I can't recall that does a song called "Entering Marion". It's about a road sign (and a double entandre ) near another town called Marion. Quote
+Saginaw Bloodhounds Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I found this one while taking some hazmat classes at Fort McClellan in Anniston Alabama. This was before I discovered geocaching, but I still thought this was funny enough to post on here. I guess children shouldn't play in abandoned mine fields.

This was before I discovered geocaching, but I still thought this was funny enough to post on here. I guess children shouldn't play in abandoned mine fields. Did basic and AIT at Ft. McClellan back in the early eighties. Wow! Was that really a quarter century ago? Started basic on an April first, snowed that morning. By the time we got to mid summer we had guys dropping out of formation with heat stroke. Good times! Good times. Quote

Started basic on an April first, snowed that morning. By the time we got to mid summer we had guys dropping out of formation with heat stroke. Good times! Good times. I can feel their pain. Right in the beginning of the August heat we were outside in the relentless sunshine in full level A hazmat suits with SCBA doing decon rotations all day. Nothing like getting undressed and pouring a ton of sweat out of your boots. Edited May 10, 2009 by Saginaw Bloodhounds Quote
Clan Riffster Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Did basic and AIT at Ft. McClellan back in the early eighties. Small world! I started basic at McClellan in December '82. My knees still remember Baines Gap. (SP?) Alpha 10 MPs Quote

+TheAlabamaRambler Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Not a road sign, but I saw this unfortunately labeled box on the dessert table at an event. I guess if you eat too many of the Jelly Assortment this fate awaits you... Edited May 11, 2009 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote
Clan Riffster Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Not a road sign, but still interesting: This is the sign that kayakers see when starting the Seventeen Runs paddle. Quote
