If you remember the old portage signs placed by the USFS until the late 1970's you may be interested in the replica signs that I make. Great for gifts or to commemorate your favorite portage, they are made from weathered cedar, pine, ash, or maple, and measure 4 inches wide by as much as 28 inches long depending on the lake name. They have a keyhole in back for hanging and are perfect for indoor decoration as a reminder of your favorite portage. If you are interested in a sign more suitable for outside use I have some redwood available as well. Visit my website www.portagesigns.com or just email me at bwcalakes@portagesigns.com and let me know what you would like. Try to limit your lake name to 13 letters and spaces. td
