     Deep within the Yukon, one of the most densely wooded areas of Canada, sits a patch of land that isunlike any other forest on the planet. Instead of a canopy of treetops spreading across the horizon, tens ofthousands of signposts perch haphazardly one on top of the other. They are all part of the Signpost Forest,the largest collection of signs from places around the world. At last count, the Signpost Forest in WatsonLake, located about 10 miles north of the U.S.-Canadian border, contains 91,000 signs from spots near andfar, including Berlin, Moscow, Dublin, and Hawaii.
       The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindleyspent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erectthe directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicatedthe direction and mileage to his hometown: “Danville, Illinois, 2,835 miles.” Others followed suit, and thetrend caught on. Each year, an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection. Lindley’soriginal sign has since been lost to time. Fifty years later, in 1992, Lindley and his wife Elinor made thepilgrimage back to Watson Lake to place a replica, which is still there.
      The Signpost Forest takes up a couple of acres, with huge panels snaking through the trees. There arestreet signs, welcome signs, signatures on dinner plates, and license plates from around the world. Thereare also a lot of familial signs; for example, a grandfather will put up a sign and then years later family willcome back and try to find it. A lot of these are personal signs to literally say that they are here. Though thevisitor center has wood and paints on hand to help create a sign, many people opt to bring their own signs,though illegally, by snatching a metal sign from their hometown and nailing it to one of the wood posts.The forest has grown so vast that the visitor center no longer tries to keep a detailed list of the signs.
