Hadn't seen that before, I love it. Maybe that's what is needed at the Ramona falls seasonal bridge. Don't f--k with this river. :)

I don't think it would help I saw two guys climbing through the Pearly Gates using cloths line for rope.

Ha. Awesome. Although the people who bother to read signs are the least likely to actually need to read them.

The problem with signs is that few people can read them.

For example, how many times have you seen a person smoking a cigarette next to a no smoking sign, or a bicyclist on a trail where a trailhead sign displays a red circle and a line across its diameter over a silhouette of a cyclist, or someone with a campfire where it says either no fires or no camping.

One of my favorite signs at the trailhead was a sign that once stood at Lava Canyon telling of the dangers of people food being offered to the chipmunks. The sign was written as if the chipmunks (not the humans) were supposed to read it. I wished I had a picture of that sign because it was so memorable and probably had a better chance of being adhered to by the rodents than by the humans.

Sadly, our culture believes signs are made for someone else, and not for all to follow.
