True!

USA Today Aug 26, 2003:

Frankothemachine, a member of the exclusive Toni Matt Club on the website Time for Tuckerman had been putting a lot of pressure on the Tuckerman Ravine Management Co to welcome visitors from Quebec and France with bilingual signs on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail after he was unable to located 'le toilette' near the HoJo's Hutt located below Tuckerman Ravine on a recent hike. After his 'incident' Frankothemachine demanded equal opportunity! Today Elwood Plummer and his buddy DrPhiddlepuss volunteered to erect various signs along the trail and at HoJo's. Hopefully this will eliminate, if not reduce further accidents in the ravine...

I do like the way those French Canadian girls look.. With those bobbed haircuts, sports tops and unshaved pits...
Too bad they never gave me the time of day when I was single...

But - meeting woman was never high on the prioity list up there for me anyway...

LOL..... the sign almost look realistic.

Very good job.

A question, there is :outhouse: on the mountain ?

Don't forget, Dave, that at Pinkham Notch, there is some indications in french. (no joke)

by the way, it would be : " Les toilettes de Tuckerman Ravine" (we wouldn't call it "Le ravin Tuckerman..... like every places in USA or english Canada, we call the places by their english name)

And finally, let me remember you that there is a fundamental difference between the France and the Québec ;)
