VFTT graffiti

CrazyDave's Hawaiian graffiti pics reminded me of a spell when VFTTers were making little signs on the trails or summits to announce our passing through. Lest the PC police get upset, I'm sure they were destroyed by the makers...

So, in how many places in the world have we announced our presence? Does anyone have photos? Get out there and take pictures!

Here's one on Wildrose Peak in Death Valley from our trip last May:

Okay, perhaps its not what you had in mind.......... But

-HERE- is how my kids choose to accept thier official 46r certificates at last year's Induction ceremony.

It's as close as I could get.

Tim,

Another reason why I like your kids.

that evolved into quite a smile

Audrey, you were with me when we spotted this "summit trash". Remember where it was? And who put it there?

It's not VFTT but it's the best darned graffito I ever saw:

We announced ourselves to 8 million people last summer, on the first Views and Brews hike, across the Brooklyn Bridge:

It's the human VFTT logo! And we didn't leave any trace!

this is bad juju. bad juju. just sayin'. better, in my opinion, to keep a low profile.

How about this one

spencer

does this one count?

on the large water tank near the bottom of the trail to Mt Equinox, in large letters it says "RIP Darren". I have no idea who put it there or what it refers to, but when we saw it last year we got quite a laugh out of it.



btw, Alpinista, the smiley face on Carrigain was mine.

Didn't you on that same hike also arrange the rocks into "RPI" for your alma mater??? Now that's some serious graffiti!

Nope it said that when I got there. I think it was Tom Rankin that did it.

Jeez, I must be getting old, I don't remember if I did that or not!?

I did make '115' in sticks and rocks at the base of Carrigain after 4 of us finished there in 2004.

You are getting old, Tom _ _ but you haven't gone senile. Don't believe you were on that particular hike (Poison Ivy's 48th atop Carrigain).

well, I thought it was Tom. I remember asking who did it, and I thought he said it was him. Must have been a PM that I deleted a long time ago.

here's the thread that talks about it:

Well, like I said before, I doubt it! But what do I know!?

I messed around some twigs on the snow on Goodnow during the ADKHighPeaks Luxury w/end to broaden the grins of hikers behind us

...not all saw them! Sorry no pix though

Oh dear, I hope this doesn't evolve into that silly hand signal the folks over at Time for Tuckerman.com use in nearly every picture that is taken of them!!
