Lt. Dan Is Retiring! Entrance Monument Makeover Underway!

November 5, 2026

Our Deer Trail II entrance monument is getting some much-needed TLC!

After years of greeting residents and visitors, our beloved Lt. Dan (the black metal deer and Deer Trail II lettering) is retiring to make way for a fresh, updated look!

This project is about more than just replacing the sign. The improvements include:

  • Carefully removing the existing metal signs
  • Deep cleaning the monument stone to remove years of dirt, buildup, and discoloration
  • Filling old mounting holes and repairing visible mortar cracks
  • Installing new monument signage for a cleaner, updated appearance
  • Completing a thorough cleanup of the surrounding area

Want to Give Lt. Dan a New Home?

We’re holding a silent auction for the two original metal sign sets! Each complete set includes the deer and the “Deer Trail II” lettering.

The two highest bidders will each receive one complete set!

To place a bid, email David at IMC no later than Nov. 11 at 5 p.m.:
jdericson@imcmanagement.net

Don’t miss your chance to own a little piece of Deer Trail II history!

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we give our entrance monument the attention it deserves!
