I had a go at some people looking for one of my caches, told them it was a nature reserve and they shouldn't be off the path... :twisted: Got an abrupt "Okay" response as they awkwardly stood there holding the cache before I let them off the hook with a bright "So did you find the cache?" :D

I was out recently scouting a spot for a Cache Hide at a new walking track that was just opened. I was spotted by a muggle, checking out trees and taking GPS readings. She asked what I was doing. I didn't even see her coming. I said I was plotting GPS points along the track to record the new track, for a nearby Marine Turtle Nesting beach. She was than very interested and asked lot's of questions about Marine Turtles, Lucky I was able to answer all her questions, as I am a volunteer Researcher for the Parks & Wildlife Service.

I've had lots of funny looks, but haven't ever been approached by muggles, with the notable exception of security guards at the remand centre in Adelaide. They told me to clear off because I was setting off all the alarms!

Must be one of those affected by someone having all their posts deleted a while ago. Probably time to close it and start a new topic.

Yes the thread is broken. :(
The forum software thinks it is still three pages long when it's only two.
Damn you df2! :evil:

I know this is a bit [OT] but how do the threads break?

Is it when people delete all their posts?

When the posts are removed in an unexpected way, yes.
If you went thru and manually deleted all your posts, all would be good, but if they get yoinked from the database (technical term...) then it seems to stuff up the page counts and stuff.

Let's close this one to avoid the pain.
