+onfire4jesus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Someone posted this on Facebook and I thought it might make a new Waymarking category - what do people think? http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/arrows.asp May not be enough of them to make a good category, but seemed interesting.

+Chasing Blue Sky Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I ran across one of these arrows a few years back in 2009 while geocaching. It is out on a ridge in the west Utah desert. The only reason I found it was because there was a multi-cache placed near here, that used this arrow as the starting point. It was the Arrow on Skunk Ridge multi-cache. It has since been archived. It is the only arrow like this that I've ever seen. The cache page had this link about the history of these arrows. I took a few pictures while I was there. You can see the stubs in the corners of the square, that are left from the beacon tower that was removed. The beacon tower was a benchmark. Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interesting objects! But it looks like they are too limited in number as well as geographical distribution to legitimate a category on their own. Maybe it could be broadened? I do not know anything about these things, but I could imagine that something like "Outdated Aeronautical Navigation Aids" would have more potential. Is there anything else that would fit at all? Who is an expert in aviation history? Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I agree they are interesting but probably too limited in number and geographically to make for a category. Could they be submitted to "Satellite Imagery Oddities" category? Quote Link to comment
+3l diesel Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would have thought that the "Remains of Settlements" category would have been ideal for these remnants. Quote Link to comment
