+kevin917z Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 just down the road from one of my caches are about 30 or so signs saying "tresspassing by written permission only" i found the signs funny since they were "homemade signs" they were spaced about 15-20' apart all down the one side of the road Quote Link to comment

+1setter Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 It's not really a strange sign, but certainly in a strange place. There was kind of a road, but certainly no traffic. <> [This message was edited by 1setter on November 03, 2003 at 09:10 PM.] Quote Link to comment

+geospotter Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Saw this one so I left my GPS, FRS radios, digital camera, and watch in the car. Good thing I don't have a pacemaker. Quote Link to comment

+Sparrowhawk Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 In Beaverton, Oregon, there is a sign located right next to a high school that warns of "Speed Humps Ahead". Well at least it's nice of them to warn the young women coming in at the freshman level even before they set foot in the place! -Elana (a.k.a. "Sparrowhawk") Quote Link to comment

+geospotter Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks for the Markwell, guys. I didn't know how I missed the original thread until I read the date. I was on the road then and not reading the forums. That'll teach me. Quote Link to comment
+chris-mouse Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I found a couple of interesting signs during some of my geocaching trips in Toronto. This one is a common one in the city parks. It tends to make the tourists do a bit of a double take. The second picture is one I saw on a glass walled ticket booth in the middle of a public square... Quote Link to comment

I see the compression artifacts, but I believe they were the result of the red circle. Am I missing something? Look to the bottom right of the red circle. Those aren't "compression artifacts," those are where someone tried to "clone" from an area where the color saturation didn't quite match the underlying color. It's TOUGH to get an exact match on a solid color, especially when there's a shadow interfering.
