+geospotter Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Can anyone explain the last one? I figure with my watch, cell phone, digital camera, and GPS I was looking at 10 to 20 behind bars! Quote Link to comment

+geospotter Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Renegade Knight: Where did you see that? Went to visit a local landmark with a beautiful vista out in the middle of nowhere. This sign was along the path on the way in. Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 The sign probably refers to radios and noisy "boom boxes" to keep peace and serenity in the park. Awhile back, NYC passed a rule prohibiting these in our subways. Can you imagine that? Do you know how much noise subways make? You can't hear yourself think. I should of invested in Sony stock. After the law was passed everyone was now going deaf listening to Walkman's! Alan Quote Link to comment
Walkin Stick Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 "Electronic devices" seems a little broad... but it reminds me of the signs near blasting areas that prohibit the use of (2-way) radio's. _____________________________________________________ Support your local rescue team....

3fros Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 My son is learning to read signs and when we see one of these No this, No that type of signs and I read it with him we always add NO HAVING FUN to the end! It's funny that even our 5 year old knows that there are people that want to restrict our lives as much as possible. Why don't they just move to a communist country? Rules are made for people without common sense. Quote Link to comment
3fros Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 No...picking or collecting... Looks like you would be in trouble if you picked up trash while out hiking. Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Probably the following: No Cellphones, Radios, Metal Detectors, or anything that is illegal or that bothers other people. That sign looks like it was missing this one: No breathing in the local air is allowed. My home page about GPS units and information Quote Link to comment
BassoonPilot Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 It's strange that sign made no mention of bagpipes. Those things could raise the dead; or if one isn't dead yet, make one wish that s/he were. Quote Link to comment

OFF RODE Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 If the NPS sees these signs they will soon be placed at the entrance to National Parks. "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Yogi Berra JeepNAz@aol.com Quote Link to comment

BassoonPilot Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Alan2: How 'bout no bassoons? Alan Well, a British writer once referred to the bassoon as a "farting bedpost," but it is totally incapable of the sheer volume that causes the bagpipes to be truly offensive. I suppose that's why bassoons didn't make the sign. Quote Link to comment

enfanta Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 -- more power to him. I dream of a time I can afford land so that I might have peace and privacy. If it was public land, though, that seems a tad excessive. Sounds like someone's pretty unhappy... Quote Link to comment

Might be interesting. Then again might scare the heck out of man and beast alike! Quote Link to comment

+urbo Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 add no breathing to it. reminds me of some signs they put up around here in road construction areas that say "speeding fines doubled". makes me wanna come back at night with a red marker and cross out the "doubled" and write "tripled" then cross that out and write "speeders will be shot on site". that sign is just asking to get violated! urbo Quote Link to comment
