What does this sign mean?

[michmouton]

I don't know if this is the right forum or not but I would like as many people as possible to see this because I haven't found anyone who knows what this means. If this is the wrong forum, please direct me to the correct one. And thanks for all your help in advance,

Thanks,

Mich

Where was this sign posted? Was it posted on or within a structure?

No cattle allowed with a C T brand?

Do not use building as a toilet? A picture of the surrounding area around the sign might be of some help.

If it was near a hiking trail, it might mean there is no registration book at the trailhead.

Re: What does this sign mean?

Sorry, I can't provide better context- it's on display at a local bar and its meaning is a closely guarded secret. The hints that I have been given was that it was found on a camping/hiking trip in upstate NY (this may be incorrect) in the late eighties/early nineties. The upper part of the symbol under the slash looks like a trial/picnic shelter symbol but I don't get the vertical line underneath. My guess is that a veteran park ranger, forestry official or some one in that field might know but I'm guessing most people under 40 won't even if they hike or camp a lot.

I appreciate the replies and if you're curious as well, spread it around. I've been clueless for almost twenty years and someone reopened the scab and revealed the itch again. There's no real gain; I just really want to know.

The top half looks like a typical shelter symbol. I'm not sure about the vertical line coming from it. I have not been able to find it with my online research, but my best guess would be ... NO LATRINE.

Now I need to know. You would really think if they didn't want people doing something, they would make it more clear what that something was.

How are you guys coming up with the toilet / latrine ideas? Nothing about this says toilet to me. The closest I came to that is Google Images came up with a "no peeing" symbol, but looks nothing like this.

After your input, I would make a wild guess at no erected shelter or perhaps no above ground shelter.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Not being a hiker, it took me awhile to even figure out how this was the symbol for shelter. Now I can see that the top looks like those 3-sided shelters along trails.

If this is at a trail head, maybe it means that there are no shelters available on the trail? Although still not sure about the stick coming out of it.

The photo needs to be put in context. Location, etc.

I kinda thought the same thing.

Definitely. If only to improve our guesses - lol. Although some seem plausible.

I have no idea what the heck that symbol means. Agree with CMPR...nothing I could find via various searches.

I think you have stumped a lot of people with this one. Please let us know if you find out what it means.

Re: What does this sign mean?

My first thought was, no elevated hunting blinds. I skimmed through almost 700 pages of this:

And, the closest I saw was a resemblance to a shelter, or information station.

Is this sign from an area outside of the U.S.? Or, possibly on a privately owned recreational area? No matter where it is, it looks to be home made.

Re: What does this sign mean?

I tried a reverse image search, about a dozen and a half search terms for images and I'm stumped. LOL

Re: What does this sign mean?

my first thought was "no wrenching"... (or no auto work).
