AMC’s Trail Sign Auction

Have you ever wished you could take one of those distinguished white-background and green-lettered AMC trail signs home with you? You can! Every year the AMC’s White Mountain Trail Crew replaces weathered or out-of-date trail signs with new signs. These signs are considered collector’s items, having guided thousands of visitors for many years along celebrated paths throughout the Whites. And best of all, these retired signs are auctioned off with proceeds going to support trails in the Northeast!

This year’s auction will take place on eBay and will begin on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at noon and ends on Friday, December 4 at noon. All proceeds will support AMC’s trail efforts in the Northeast. Visit the AMC web page to learn more.
