I see the no horses sign, is that a no magaphone while on all fours below it?
It's a trend here to put 'odd' stickers on our trail signs in an attempt to confuse tourist. Unsure what the sticker itself means. There aren't any caves in the area. I'll take some pictures of the other signs. You'll get some good laughs.
Looks like a Nash? I'm guessing it was Nash's minicar the Metropolitan.
Growing up a car dealer neighbor who lived across the street had one parked in his driveway. That and BMW's Isetta were the Smart Cars of that generation unless you also include the kit made King Midget.

Speaking of "mini" cars ---
Here is a large "mini" car that I once owned - Honda's first auto to be imported into the U.S. The Honda 600 was equipped with an adapted motorcycle engine.
Here are photos of the referenced BMW Isetta:
And here is a "mini" firetruck I came across several weeks ago:
A Nash Metropolitan can be seen in this recently taken photo:
Here is another "mini" car that I once owned - here pictured the vehicle under restoration:
And here pictured was my King Midget before restoration:
Additional examples of the King Midget as pictured at a King Midget Jamboree I attended in Ohio, the state where they were manufactured from 1946 to 1970:
(FWIW, I still own the website KingMidget.com, although presently awaiting content.)
For this Friday's posting here are photos relating to the Cruise Ship, Diamond Princess from 2019.
At the end of this week Japan's Prime Minister announced Japan's reopening to international travelers and tourists to become effective October 11, 2022 when difficult to obtain special visas will no longer be required in the same way and for the same countries whose citizens were not required to have visas pre-pandemic.
It was the ship Diamond Princess that was quarantined in Japan with COVID-19 infected passengers on February 3rd of 2020 that was the precursor which signaled to the world the arrival of a new health threat.
Since then until now Japan, with some exceptions, has for all practical purposes been closed to individual tourists coming to visit on their own.
Here, the Diamond Princess on its last Spring voyage before that mooring in Yokohama:
My photo of the Diamond Princess pictured in the same Yokohama harbor where it remained moored with its quarantined COVID -19 exposed passengers as the world attempted to grasp the seriousness of the health threat:
This hawk flew over my head by about 10 feet and landed long enough for me to get my phone out. After a few shots I captured him just as he was taking off again.

That photo merits a "Give it a Caption" challenge.
