Today we visited the Sign Post Forest. There are over 75,000 signs. Over 2,000 are posted every year since it originated.
Bob, Sue & Joe
Row after row of posts with signs from every state and Canadian Province and many from other countries.
Every thing imaginable has been used to make a sign. We saw a flip flop, a bra, frying pan, hubcap, hand painted, special made signs and street signs.
Bob and I posted a Madisonville, Tennessee-Monroe County license plate with our names etched into it.
Sign Post Forest originated back in 1942 when the Alaskan Highway was being built. These 2 soldiers started the very first post. The Army Corp of Engineers spent months away from family and loved ones.
That is a whole lot of signage all in one area! Seeing a sign post out of its normal place is a pretty interesting sight. Seems like a fun place to visit
