    Default Roadside Banners

    Just wanted to share some personal experience about some banners we purchased. We had the luck have having an awesome "Tinker's Station" sign out front when we bought our property, though there was no indication of what we were going to do. We decided to get two banners telling the world we were making a hostel and giving our web address and our internet traffic spiked a couple of hundred hits for the next few days!

    Obviously this might not sound like much for some of the bigger hostels, but for a small little startup in a town of 100, it felt pretty good. Here's a few pictures of the banners (covered in a bit of snow):

    Awesome house!

    Are those pictures from last winter or is it snowing there already?

    Looks like a nice place. Might be down there in June if I get into the Western States. Good luck.

    Looks great -- I definitely want to go there and visit

    I'm really liking the Bay Area. It was sunny enough in Berkeley to get a tan the other day, but it's snowing just three hours away...

    Those pictures are from last week, but we have some more from today when it was snowing. I'll upload them in a bit.

    Great pics! The ones with the people jumping out of the tree into the water looks like a lotta fun.

    yeah, I was pretty convinced one of those branches was going to snap and someone was gonna die, but it all worked out in the end. The tri-colored australian shepherd is also mine
