    Default Trail sign question

    Does anyone know the meaning of this sign? I am drawing a blank on this one. Thanks in advance.

    Hopefully it isn't a warning for scorpions, quicksand, tuberculosis, bears or falling rocks. If it is for none of those then you are in the clear.

    Unless someone put it up wrong than my bet is it means don't drink the water or no water.

    It means the shelter is flooded, and you will need to sleep on an air mattress.

    It's an ancient Haliwa-Saponi Indian symbol for evil and/or bad luck. Legend has it that those who gaze upon it will have misfortune befall them within a fortnight. Too bad you looked.
