I can see that I need a better solution for the pictures, I'll work on that.
I can see the photos just fine, Bob. I love the vest and the sign. The only thing I don't like about the vest is the lack of pockets. I use all 4 pockets on my vest.
Any chance we can get this same vest, but with pockets?

Here's one from a Chinese supplier: Lighted Vest
Here's a solution that allows access to the pockets on any vest that has 'em: Tracer360

Highly recommend the measurement signs...
Haven't measured any courses on the roads since getting mine but have measured two courses (5K and 25K) on paved trails with them mounted on my bicycle. Both bicyclist and walkers/runners much more cooperative and understanding once they see/read the sign without my having to explain why I'm on "their" pathway, or why I'm in the pedestrian lane and not the bike lane, etc.

Ken is right about a different, more cooperative attitude that the signs foster. Plenty of questions about what course am I measuring, rather than stares asking "What do you think you're doing?"
Attitude of drivers is also much better based on my experience so far. Last week US Park Policemen closed down sections of Rock Creek Parkway so I could measure it. I didn't hear honks or angry yells; folks seemed pretty patient considering.
I just want to add that nothing, including helpful signs, should lull us into not being extremely careful out there. (Sorry for double negative-- just be careful OK?)
