Yukon sign

[usnavywife]

Can someone who is going or has gone up the Klondike highway do me a favor?

We did 2 weeks ago tomorrow and when we drove through there was no sight :( just the 2 posts to hold the sign. I really need one for my scrapbook lol.

TIA

I'd be willing to share, but I doubt you want my kids in your scrapbook :D . We didn't notice the sign this time -- maybe that's why.

[usnavywife]

Yeah it would be hard to explain whose kids those were wouldn't it lol. I did take a pic of the posts though and I intend to tell the story lmao.

thanks for the offer :D

I have a picture of the sign that we took last May when we were there. I'd be glad to email it to you. Just let me know your email address.

If this doesn't work, I'll be glad to email you a bigger picture.

A friend of mine asked me for the same picture. Thanks for the thumbnail. If she wants a larger one I will let you know.

As a retired Navy officer, I know it is true that the toughest job in the world is that of being a Navy Wife. My hat is off to you and if you don't get the picture you want in the next few days, I'll be happy to make one for you in two weeks while I am there.

The sign was put back up yesterday. Here's what it looked like 2 hours ago - http://www.explorenorth.com/yukon_sign-2677.jpg :)

So what happened to it to begin with?

It was taken down 2 weeks ago for a repaint and to change the slogan from "Canada's True North" to "Larger Than Life" (in both Canadian and some foreign language :D )

Tourism hires some company in Calgary to come up with that nonsense :(

I think the old sign was much better looking.....

Thanks for all of the responses guys.

Yukon since yours is newest can I save it and print?

I appreciate all of the offers.

As for the sign comeing down 2 weeks ago to paint it go figure you would think they would do it in April before us tourist show up:p

Thanks again everyone :D

Yes, you sure can - I posted it large enough that it will print well.

Interesting that if it was taken down to paint and refurbish, some of the letters aren't looking too good already. They must have used waterbased paint, ha ha ha.

 

The old sign definitely looks better. The new one doesn't even say Canada. But it's a nice big sign, I hate it when they have a little 18" sign you can barely see. This one is big and bold.

It must be sun reflections you're seeing. I agree that the old one was better, though - I like both the "Canada" and the mountains on it. Too bad nobody asked us :(

Thanks Murray.

You have been a great help :D

The new sign looks nice but I agree the older one looks nicer :D

Thanks again all
