I should add in a few other favorites.

The westernmost National Park I've visited.  August 25, 2006.



And the easternmost (US) National Park I've visited.  August 9, 2014.



And one that's not as well known.  April 28, 2004.

And since the trend has already started, let's go ahead and confirm that all NPS (or other country's equivalent) sites qualify, not just so-called "national parks".

I'll see you that, and raise you this:



So, anybody got American Samoa? :-)

And one that's not as well known.  April 28, 2004.

One of my absolute favorites!

Shawnee National Forest, southern IL, taken today.

Side note, I absolutely love National Forest signs. The font choices and sign shapes are fantastic.

Well now we have the dilemma (and it's all my fault) of whether to allow National Forests.

A BBS? taken a month ago.  On that same trip, I also went to the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Natural Bridges.  Didn't think to get sign pictures at the entrances though.

I'll start with two of Disney's Florida parks.  Taken January 2, 2017.

My timing sucks royally. I made sure to take plenty of pictures of the signs for the McKinley library while I was in Canton. Then we take a family trip to Disney... and spend all day on the road on the 3rd. Meanwhile, I'm still working on my pictures and movies from Florida, and I don't have any guide signs to the park or pictures of the park entrance in my inventory yet.

So, for today's challenge, I offer what I have, which is this street sign at Disney World:

I didn't remember that I had one, but here's a Disneyland Drive from I-5.  February 19, 2007.

No sign, but here's a roller coaster from Canada's Wonderland, seen from the 400 in Vaughan, ON

June 10, 2017: Post photos of signs where all the digits are the same number (for example, all digits are 1's).

Here's an impressive six 1's on this sign on the 400 north of Barrie, ON



EDIT: Sorry for posting 4 seconds early, I guess my clock is slightly off

Doesn't qualify, although you could certainly introduce this later on as a Challenge of its own. (Take a look back, though; I seem to recall at least one prior Challenge having to do with digits being the same.)

It does qualify, twice actually (although trivially); the top sign has two of the digit 2 and no other digits, while the US 44 sign has two of the digit 4 and no other digits. Two-digit routes that are two of the same digit are quite common, though (which is why my contribution of NH 33 was also Exit 3).
