Yosemite offers reward for return of historic Ahwahnee Hotel sign

Yosemite National Park on Wednesday offered a $1,000 reward for data prompting the recuperation of a sign for the memorable Ahwahnee Hotel, which was stolen not long ago amid an as yet seething fight in court over park trademarks.

Yosemite declared the prize in a post on Twitter and asked anybody with data about the robbery to call a tip line.

Park representative Scott Gediman said the offer was made in light of the fact that stop examiners had so far turned up couple of valid pieces of information and no suspects in their endeavors to recoup the sign.

Authorities changed the name of the Ahwahnee, a National Historic Landmark worked in 1927, to the Majestic Yosemite Hotel. The recreation center is engaging its previous concessionaire Delaware North Company in court over the trademark to the inn and other well known locales that it has renamed.

Curry Village is currently called Half Dome Village, and the Wawona Hotel, worked in 1876, is known as Big Trees Lodge. Park authorities have said that they plan to eventually restore the first names.

A little blue-and-white sign for the Ahwahnee vanished in the days prior to the name change, a wrongdoing the recreation center said might have been identified with the debate.
