Ok, so I thought that the secret shore culture still only applied to loamers, the Darkside, GMG, and Hangman.

I was out for a ride yesterday and found many of the NSMBA signs removed off the posts at popular junctions.

Example

Can anyone tell me why? The affected signs were on Salamander exit above Sticks and Stones, Sticks and Stones, Rapid Transit, and it is not like these are hidden gems. these are pretty mainline lower trails

Does any one have any leads?
Grumpy?
trail fairy?
TRD?
Jerry-Rig?
MrBond?

I don't care who did it, but I would like a sign there so I can tell the tourist with the Local's Guide to the Shore to turn right on Sticks and have a good ride.

TRD's too busy sending PM's out to trailbuilders asking them how he can help.

That reminds fairy to check. Oh wait … no PMs. What a surprise for trailfairy

No idea what's up with the signs.

My first idea was along the lines of "Looks like a collector/too greedy tourist to me".

I'm sure it's no big deal…

The trail signage probably just needed to be upgraded as part of MEC's rebranding process!

That or a clever ploy by Wade [HTML_REMOVED] Sharon to sell more guide books//apps.

Or…

No need to lynch anyone or fire up the pitch fork mob.

The signs were delaminated, the screws twisted into the top layer when they were mounted. They've been removed so that they can be replaced.

Woody is on vacation this week, signs are in process at the sign shop being made up, expect they should be back up late next week.

Thanks Shirk, it seemed like it was done on purpose.

I am glad it was done for good rather than people being vindictive. The pitchfork is going back in the shed now.

Is it just me thinking that it might have been a better idea to leave the old signs up until the new ones were ready?

I'm probably missing some important fact.

Probably a case of everything being ready to go… But getting destroyed in the ensuing e-fight-turned-clash-of-Mattocks over whether Bridal/Bridle Path was spelled correctly on the sign and how far apart to seat LeeFairyLau and JerryTooScaryWillows at the grand opening of "The New Trail" (which would be a great name for the new trail - just saying).

There are trail signs?

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
