Thank you for posting George. I certainly didn't intend this thread to morph into into a National Parks policy debate. I'll try to start a thread about the weather station experience when I find a few minutes. I was just thinking about the ranger's letting me know that he personally couldn't support even a non-obtrusive setup at the summit hut. (Give me a couple of days, I'll start the thread, and maybe copy your text over there.)
As for the sign, it's only a sign. Seems to me its presence would save SAR episodes every so often, and could even save a life, since hikers missing that particular junction has been noted several places.
