Howe Farm Park sign.
An Exercise in A.S.L.
~~~ AMERICAN SIGN(ed) LANGUAGE ~~~
     Sign(ed) Language can be simply described as any means of communication through which bodily movements, especially of the hands and arms, are used rather than through speech.
     It has long been used by speakers of mutually unintelligible languages - for example, various Plains Indian tribes in 19th-century North America communicated via a sign language - and is widely used for communication by the deaf.
     Charles-Michel, abbe de l'Epee (1712 - 89), developed the first sign language for the deaf in the mid-18th century; his system developed into French Sign Language (FSL), still used in France.
     Transported to the U.S. in 1816 by Thomas Gallaudet (1787 - 1851), it evolved into American Sign Language (ASL, or Ameslan), now used by more than half a million people.
     These and other national sign languages generally express concepts rather than elements of words and thus have more in common with each other than with their countries' spoken languages.

     All you have to do now is translate the following sets of images into the coordinates for this cache.  However and for the sake of confusion, I have added a little twist to one of the image sets to increase the cache's difficulty.
     The container you seek, which shall remain without description, contains a Logbook and a few new trinkets of no great value.  In any case, please remember to trade equal to or better than your take from this or any other cache.
