I came away from my trip to New Hampshire’s Great North Woods with some photos of signs that I thought were worth sharing. The top one is no joke. Moose are huge and come out after sundown. You often don’t see them until you’re right on top of them. They are more dangerous to hit than deer because of their size and long skinny legs. If hit by a passengr car, they tend to fall on top of the hood and windshield. Bad news.
Up north, many commnites let ATV’s (all-terrain vehicles) use the public roads in town to get between their homes or lodging and ATV trails. ATV use is popular there and the area has tried to build it’s economy through ATV tourism.
This was next to a tiny fishing hole in a community in Pittsburg, NH. I assume that they stock the pond and let the little ones get a taste of angling.
Thank you! Those signs are indeed worth sharing.
Thank you so much.
Oh, I love that last one! What a great idea for the little ones!!
Isn’t it awesome. I bet the little tykes have a blast fishing here.
🙂
You’ve captured the flavor, for sure. “Frost Heaves” is another one to pay attention to.
Yes! But it’s the wrong time of year for frost heaves.
The last one is a hoot 🤣 I hope no adult is ever caught trying to fish there 🤣
I know. If an adult were caught fishing there, their photo should go on the town fb page. lol
What an adventure and a lesson to be leaned: Read the Signs! 👁👁🍃
I love the signage here today. High speeds and moose seem like a bad combo. Good to be on the look out! We took my daughter fishing a few years ago. It was so much fun. We need to do that again. Would be fun to visit this pond for kids with her. Happy Saturday Chris!
Moose are amazing but dangerous in a couple of different ways. Fishing with kids is a lot of fun. I hope you can do it again soon.
Funny that moose are always depicted in storybooks and cartoons as warm docile creatures. I’ve never seen one before. You live in a place of wonder!
Usually, they are pretty docile. You just don’t want one standing in the road or to get angry with you. I’ve only seen them a few times.
I agree that through road signs it is possible to get a snapshot of what makes a region, mooses, sheep, avalanches, floods. I illustrated one of my recent posts with the sign of a dog sled. This could be an interesting project.
There are some intersting signs that you encounter in different regions. We don’t typically see flash flood signs here but they are prevalent in other parts of the U.S.
It would be scary to hit a moose, but I’ve always wanted to at least see a one. I drive slow anyway and have gotten pretty good at stopping for deer that run out and jump around like they don’t know what to do.
Deer can be tricky. Stay alert.
Funny we have a sign competition this month…you’ve reminded me with your signs Chris 🤓💫☺️ Sending you joy hedy 💫
A sign competiton sounds lime fun. Good luck finding a sign.
Moose are huge and can easily take out most modern cars!!
I’ve never seen a moose in person but they do look really tall and I can imagine the damage that could happen.
We had one come through the woods and into our yard once. It was like the scene in Jurassic Park where you hear the dinosaur coming.
Wow!! As long as it didn’t stamp on you while you were having a private moment on the toilet… 😉 LOL!
Thankfully not but they do stamp on thigs that threaten them.
