I suspect the symbols are part of a game or a map, but I can’t find them in orienteering rulebooks. At first glance I thought they look similar to warchalking marks, but there’s no IDs, and who’s surfing the web in a forest anyhow?

Got any ideas? It looked like the word said “* = hold” and the circles have H and H* in them.

I’ve been itching to bring a box of coloured chalks home and doodle out some art on the sidewalks in front of our building, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Maybe this is the impetus I need. Anyone up for a creative sidewalk chalk-bombing excursion?

I read that there was a sidewalk chalk rebellion a few years ago in the Glebe – some kids got fined for doodling on the pavement and the entire neighborhood came out to scribble in solidarity.  I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for a yearly event but haven’t spotted one yet.
