That is hilarious... how could whoever made that sign think that was OK. And then somebody else looked at it, thought is was ok, and installed it into the ground! Don't people think any more!
i think the best part about this sign is that the letters are not only painted but CARVED into the wood.....during the i dont know maybe half an hour it took to carve the word ROCKS it didnt come across the guys mind "hmm this word looks a little wierd"
I don't think that it is a mistake. The name of the area is "Rumney Rocks" and the day use is climbing. I've been climbing there for 15 years and never found the sign to be odd or wrong.
I never heard of the place being called "Rumney Rocks" until the sign went up. It was always just "Rumney". It worked fine for climbers, but the Forest Service probably needed a name that differentiates it from the village. "Rumney Rock Climbing" would exclude the multitude of other users who are necessitating the future handicap accessible trail to the 5.8 Crag they want to build.(sarcasm)
Of course "Rumney Rocks", a little line, then "Climbing", would make the sign make a bit more sense, or maybe "Rumney Climbing Rocks!". "Rumney Climbs Rock!", of course could lead to confusion, with some thinking that the village of Rumney climbs the rocks...
