:rolleyes:

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)

"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!

:P

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.

:D:D

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...

A little on the despicable side - but for some things, you just HAVE to march through the ditch to get the right angle...

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.

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:

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.

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 :laughing:

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.

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.

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. :anitongue:

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.

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. :anitongue:

Small world! I started basic at McClellan in December '82. My knees still remember Baines Gap. (SP?)
