Sign Vandalism?

[NH Tramper]

When we got to the junction of King Ravine and Subway Loop trails we noticed the sign had been broken near the base of the post and laid over. Hmm, getting old we thought. When we got to the top of the ravine we noticed another sign (for Airline) broken off near the base of the post and tossed/fell into that final chute a bit. I hauled it back up and propped it up. Strange. From there we went to Gulfside and down to the hut, and as we headed past the Airline Link and on to Valley Way we noted yet another sign, broken like the others. The winds this winter have surpassed a buck on the Rock Pile, but surely they didn't take out these signs, especially the one for Airline which had been "blown" west.

Any idea what's going on up there? Vandals?

Sounds like it. There have been vandals who repeatedly defaced signs in the past, it's possible the same or like-minded people are stepping things up a notch. Did you contact the WMNF ranger station or the AMC @ Pinkham?

I didn't but I'll reach out today.

The Valley Way sign below the hut is horizontal. It's not gonna get fixed until the ice is gone either.
