I LOVE these, big big fan! They're at all the public-land hiking trails around me. Nice little trail map, often dry-erase notes over the glass marking flooded trails or temporarily protected areas. History lessons or something about what makes the area special. Single mittens and kit left like a makeshift lost and found. You know you're in for a really good hike when they have a sign in book! Such an underrated low-cost public service.
My friend drew a guillotine version of this on a post it a while back. I should check if its still on the wall
are you perhaps a wasp
Come a little closer, and make sure to get a good long look at the hiking trail map.
I once got stung by an entire nest of wasps for the crime of writing down my minigolf score on the little wooden stand they elected to infest.
I got stung by a wasp because I touched it as a kid. Oops.
Interestingly, I remember getting stung, I remember crying, but I donβt remember what the pain felt like.
I thought this was a covered guillotine. You know, so the condemned billionaire doesn't get wet if it rains on their big day.
Oh, you mean a message board?
Like the term used to describe the thing we're currently posting on?
This one doesn't have a hat though.

They omitted Australia & Antarctica π
Oceanien is probably meant to include Australia
Hike the whole world. In and out. Twenty minute adventure.

There's actually 2
Literally a trivia
Developer commentary
They always seem to be sun bleached
Well, they tried.
I like them if kept up to date.
I love when I'm lost while playing DayZ and come across one.
you mean blowie huts?
best place for a blowjob on a rainy hike.
We don't have many of them where I live, but they never have any useful information.
Not literally "never", but often it's so cursory that it's useless, or written so poorly, it's hard to make sense of, or the display is old and faded.
However, when this structure is used as a community bulletin board, and the locals actually interact with it, it can be entertaining, at least.
where I live
I'm almost sure we live on the different sides of the planet, so you can expect that out experiences with... these things are different :)
Do yours have wasps on that side of the world? The people who pointed that out were so spot on I don't think I'll ever look at one of these again and not think wasps
Wasps exists here as species but are very rare. These "billboards" associate here with unsorted outdated data nobody asked for.
Ours are usually at trailheads in state/local parks that have the trail routes and a bit of information pertaining to what flora/fauna may be typical to the area. Maybe a bit of history
In my region they are mostly situated near government buildings with data about telephone numbers, working hours and some crazy gibberish. All is outdated.
