Pics of the signpost forest?

It doesn't look like there is room for new signs.

Here are some from our passage in 2013:

We found our two from 2005 and 2008. We did not bring a new one this year, just looked for our old ones.

Here is a picture from this year

Not sure how lucky you will be in finding your sign. We put a sign up there in 1992 for the 50th anniversary of the Alaska highway build, we were back there a few years ago and spent a few hours looking for the sign and couldn't find it. I suspect that it either had been culled or there are now so many signs and posts that we missed seeing it.

We were unprepared last year so we used a magic tape-covered Post It note. We put it on the north side of a post near the visitor center. The good news was it was easy to find space for it!

we were last there in 2010 - have no idea if our sign is still there.

We put up a sign last year on our trip to Alaska. Hope we can find it again when we travel up that way in 2017.

Here is a photo from about 2004 of the signs. They only have so much space and poles to use for hanging signs. So I was told at the center there, that every so often they go through and remove many of the older signs, the dilapidated ones, unreadable ones, etc to make room for people to hang new ones. How long your sign will last before removal, is anyone's guess. I hung my first sign there in 1962 and was never able to re-find it again, even though I made the round trips again in 1964, 1965, 1969 abd 1974 plus many more round trips later on. Over the years I probably hung signs a half dozen times, but never found them later, that I can remember.

Still it is a fun thing to do, great to stand in front of your sign and get your photo taken by someone. Better than leaning on your car fender, blocking most of the view in front of the camera, to prove you had been somewhere. LOL



The photo of the signs taken by Sue's dad, Jack, was how I remember it looking in the early days. This was about 5 years before Sue was born. The building in the back right is the old Watson Lake Hotel and Lounge before they added the motel onto the hotel building. The entire complex burned a few years back but had been closed to operations for a number of years. Had some real good times in that old building, on the first four trips I made before getting married in Anchorage in 1973. On a Friday or Saturday night it was the place to be.
