Fake ‘No Trespassing’ Signs

By Rocky Thompson on August 7th, 2009

Someone from Backbone Media ran into No Trespassing signs posted on a stretch of the Roaring Fork River in Colorado. He turned around and did some research on property lines and the RFTA trail boundaries and found out that the land was, indeed, public.

I think I’ll staple the property map to the no trespassing signs and reel in a few extra fish for good measure. Although, the parting words from RFTA didn’t exactly inspire complete confidence, “I’m sure you’re right but duck if they shoot.”

Good advice from the RFTA. I used to encounter some No Trespassing signs on public land in a State Park in Wisconsin. The signs showed up after trees dragged over the trail didn’t stop cyclists, and then after the trees bikers dragged away the trees we’d routinely encounter wires strung at chest height.

Do you guys run into wrongly placed No Trespassing signs? I’d rather see those than booby traps on the trail.

    heres a trick for you, in ww2 the germens would pull wire across roads to take out jeep drivers, so they welded a bar on the bumper that would stick up past the hood and clip the wire. anyone willing to do some tack welding on there fork?
