Did You Know: Yukon Territory

How do you start a trend?  Post a sign because you are from the midwestern United States and you are posted almost 3000 miles from home, and you are homesick.  Sign Post Forest is a collection of signs at Watson Lake, and is one of the most famous of the landmarks along the Alaska Highway. It was started by a homesick GI in 1942. He was assigned light duty while recovering from an injury and erected the signpost for his hometown: Danville, Ill. 2835 miles. Visitors may add their own signs to the over 80,000 already present.
