Replace "SLOW ZONE" with:

follow-up sign reads, "Speed limit enforced by snipers"

Back in the day they didn’t just have diamonds, squares and circles for trail ratings, they also had tweeners. Like a trail that was harder then a square, but not quite a diamond was a blue square with a black diamond inside.

Made sense to me.

Doesnt JH have triple black diamonds in a yellow square..?

Not that I know of and not on the trail map. They have prevalent yellow "cliff area" signs all over the place (to be distinguished from the (red, I think) closed area signs).

Gore has or at least used to have a big sign at the top of The Rumor with all sorts of warnings about falling, dying, etc.

After double black diamonds often is caution! Now we are talking! Look before you leap!
