I fell asleep for awhile after reading, and my parents woke up me up when we got to the Sign Post Forest. The Forest is one of the most famous of the landmarks across the Alaska Highway.The Sign Post Forest is on the side of the Alaska-Canada highway, and it basically a bunch of wooden poles stuck into the ground covered with signs that people have left- whether it be a license plate, wooden sign, signs from around a city, or a home-made sign. It was started by Private Carl K. Lindley in 1942 after he decided to personalize a sign he was ordered to fix that had been damaged during road construction. He added a sign pointing to his hometown and visitors can now add to 100,000 signs already there! Some people were quite creative with their signs, leaving half of their satellite dish or a high chair tabletop. We forgot to bring a sign, so my mom wrote our names on a red plastic plate for us to leave. We appropriately clothes pinned it to a Tennessee license plate that we found.
