Nice work, Nate!
Apostrophe question: I often leave out the apostrophe because I don't know if it's Whistler's (bend is named after a guy named Whistler, or a single whistler of some sort) or Whistlers' (multiple whistlers).
Tried googling for the history, but no luck... did find that it's singular, though (according to the county parts department).
So, I say we make up our own story. Whistlers Bend: It's not an adjective and a noun, but a noun and a verb, and it's a directive. "It's a good idea for anyone whistling to bend while they whistle." We could even use a comma and an exclamation point:
Whistlers, bend!
And a penalty stroke for anyone who whistles without bending. Yeah.

Anyway, really, I posted to pay homage to the signs. Can't wait to see them! Thanks, guys.
