knowschad Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 found this one in a park. where there are actually no places to park Most likely it is there because there are coordinates written on the back in invisible UV ink by some vandal. Quote Link to comment
+shuccrum Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 No picture-saw this years ago. The bar close to me was having a dart contest. On the sign during the night the "d" was changed to an "F" . Quote Link to comment
wandering_yoopers Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Not really a road sign, but I got a kick out of it. [/img] I suppose if you get the door back on it MIGHT work. Quote Link to comment
+Crid Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Not a road sign, but spotted on a recent trip to St Agnes in the Scilly Isles: Quote Link to comment
+Crid Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'm quite surprised nobody has posted a picture of this famous English signpost: There's a geocache nearby too. (GCWX6B) Quote Link to comment
+Okiebryan Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Seen on US287 North as leaving Boise City, OK: Drive a little further, come around the curve, and this is what you see: It seems that a skeleton of this type of dinosaur was found just outside of town, and the townspeople were proud of that fact.

+Jeep_Dog Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 This was found near Three Rivers, NM. Good thing we were golfers, otherwise we may have been trespassing... Quote Link to comment

+GeePa Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The sign itself is not funny, but I found it amusing that no one paid any attention to it whatsoever. The guy in the picture was parked only about 20 ft from the sign! Quote Link to comment
+abbybeth Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Found two today that were fun: I have NO idea what this is all about! Its the starting point for road tests for new drivers, we've got them here too Quote Link to comment
+Growf Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We seem to have "speed humps" scattered all around the Cincinnati, OH area; there are even a few a few blocks away from my house. On to the weird/interesting/amusing sign: What is interesting is that this was in the community of West Harrison, IN (very near GC179BG), which is divided from Harrison, OH by State St -- the OH/IN state line runs right down the middle of the road in this area. Interesting point #2: if you're going to break the law by committing a rolling stop, then save some money and do it in Harrison -- it'll only cost you $65 there! Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Just outside my old home town of Brentwood, Essex, England is an official sign pointing to "Secret Nuclear Bunker." A pub we used to frequent as students in Portsmouth, Hampshire was the "Fawcett Inn." The street I lived on for most of my life in the UK was Hanging Hill Lane. Thanks for the great topic and pictures...must take my camera with me at all geocaching times from now on! Quote Link to comment
sdarken Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Someone was passing this one around the other day. World's Dumbest Sign (Credit to Bkip for this one) Quote Link to comment
JeffvS Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well I'm from Nanaimo, BC, in Canada and this is an odd road sign if I've ever seen one. Quote Link to comment
+hurleyanne Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Here's a couple from the day I found the original stash tribute cache. The first is in the cache vicinity: English fine, Spanish I could see why, but Russian??? Was there a deal on extra languages on the sign or something?! Do many Russians travel to Oregon to dump trash? Next is a sign we drove by, then just had to pull over and take some pictures: Quote Link to comment
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 boring is a classic one, as well as weed, which I think is right over the california border. Been years since I've been that way. Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Checkers Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I just saw one today but didn't take a pic. Darn. It was a right turn but the road, completed with a double solid yellow line, ended 10 feet later in rocky sand and a sign said, Road ends in water. I didn't find the cache I was attempting, so next time I'll take a pic. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Uhhh... And if they didn't feed their gators someone would turn 'em in for animal cruelty. There is just no pleasing some people. Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) A friend may have photoshopped this a bit, but it was an appropriate picture for the World Dumbest Sign cache. The actual sign there seems like it was rather dumb, stating. "Please do not post signs on this property." Edited October 19, 2009 by Erickson Quote Link to comment
+Minimike2 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 A friend may have photoshopped this a bit, but it was an appropriate picture for the World Dumbest Sign cache. The actual sign there seems like it was rather dumb, stating. "Please do not post signs on this property." I can see how this one is a proper sign. You are driving on a one way street and come to a "T" with this sign. You can go either right or left on a one way road/street. The sign is telling you not to worry about any oncoming traffic. Makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Should be better this time! Not a street sign........... but an emergency "power-off" button to kill the pumps at a gas station. [/img] Don't ya wonder who has the key for the lock? Quote Link to comment
+va griz Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Sorry for the poor picture, I stumbled on this one while the light was poor. Not exactly an unusual sign, but the fact that someone hung a fishing float from it made it interesting to me. It was in Acadia, Maine. Quote Link to comment
+the_bell_dingers Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I once saw a sign that was for a Alcoholics help group. It said: Struggling with alcohol? Help is right around the corner. around the corner was a liquor store!!! I saw this sign on a different road: the thing around the corner was: a cliff!!! Quote Link to comment
+bflentje Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I didn't take a picture but one I didn't get was along the Great River Road near Maiden Rock, WI. For some odd reason, there was a short 250' or so segment of curbing along the road where everything before and after the curbing was just your run of the mill ditch. But the interesting thing was there was a sign at one end that said "Curb Starts Here" and at the other end a sign that said "Curb Ends Here". Uhh, ok, thanks for pointing that out.

+DavidMac Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I ran across this one on a recent cache run. Really, would somebody even try to get a truck down this road? For starters, it is a dead end road that runs parallel to a perfectly good 4-lane state highway. And this picture was taken at the widest point in the road. Around the bend it becomes steep, narrow, and rutted. My car made it through with a little finesse, but a semi would never make it. And once reached the end I found myself in Deliverance. Dogs laid in the road and barely lifted their heads as I passed. Old pickups sat on mossy cinderblocks. Women with beehive hairdoos stared at me from behind the blinds of trailer windows. The shotgun holes in the sign were just icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment

Do many Russians travel to Oregon to dump trash? They dont travel to Oregon to dump trash, they already live here. Lots of Old Believer Russians and Russian immigrants in the Willamette Valley. All of my encounters with them have shown they are a source for CITO. Have yet to meet one that doesnt believe in their God-given right to dump trash wherever they walk in the woods.
