Notice: I've taken a part-time job, and it's definitely affecting my blogging time. I'll continue to add content here as often as possible. Pertinent guest posts are always welcome.

If you need a good painted blaze, just get a bigger hammer! Um...
Walking my trail section yesterday, I had to shake my head at this. Yes, I did it. Why? Actually the answer is simple. We replaced nail-up blazes on our section with painted ones. So there was a nail-up blaze here that I removed. But it was a good place for a new blaze, so I painted one in the same place.
But it does look a little strange!
See
How To Paint Blazes for some help on the right way to mark the North Country Trail.

I'm not sure where this actually is (it's from the Telegraph.co.uk archive), but I think we can be glad that it's not on the NCT!
Of course there are places where both uses are permitted, but not posted quite so poorly!
