Thank you, McAllister Signs, from all us hikers

My regular blog readers know how much I love our Webster trail system, and how often I preach that we should NOT take it for granted. The Friends of Webster Trails — all volunteers — do an excellent job building and maintaining these trails, which now number more than 30 and stretch for 36 miles.

But today I have to fess up. There’s something about these trails that even I’ve taken for granted: the signage.

Whenever I hike our trails, I’ve come to expect that anytime I wonder where I am or how far I’ve come on a particular spur, right around the corner there’s going to be a multi-colored map pinpointing my exact location. Recently, I learned that we have McAllister Signs to thank.

This is the message I saw on the Friends of Webster Trails Facebook page:

That way? This way? Which way?

When you’re in one of Webster’s preserves, there’s never a question, thanks to the amazing maps from our partner, McAllister Signs. When new trails were added to Four Mile Creek, Friends mapped the trail and McAllister made the high-quality signs you see at each intersection. Thanks, McAllister!

Yes, thank you, McAllister Signs, from all of us who enjoy Webster’s natural beauty.
