Towns are usually named when they're first settled...not after people have settled in and planted their OWN trees.

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

Are there no trees in Notrees?

Very few...like a lot Texas, it's dominated by scrub vegetation.

Sorry, I rescinded my post because the sign was for the county, not the city (same name but against the rules).
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.
Visit scenic Orleans County, NY!
Male pronouns, please.

The whole reason I dug up that photo in the first place was to keep "I" in play.  :)

The Ş→s is allowed. There was discussion earlier about a possible ß ending the game, and it was decided to use the closest approximation to that letter (transliteration, not closest look-alike). I can't find it, though, because of the search feature's "each word must contain two or more characters" rule prohibiting me from searching this thread for a ß.

Traveled, plus several state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25 (updated from 14)
