The Watson Lake sign forest was started in 1942 by a homesick U.S. Army G.I.,
Carl K. Lindley of Danville, Il., Company D, 341st Engineers.
While working on the Alaska Highway, he erected a sign here
pointing the way and stating the mileage to his hometown. Others
followed his lead and are still doing so to this day. On July
20, 1990, Olen and Anita Walker of Bryan, Ohio placed the
10,000th sign. Carl K. Lindley and his wife visited the site in
1992, 50 years after his first post was erected.
