We’ve been busy preparing for winter, so I haven’t done much blog writing lately.
We did have an unusual character stay with us. We nicknamed him “Mr. GPS” or “Mr. Geotagging.” He kept wandering around with his GPS gadgets and camera, noting exactly where he was. Some thought he was a surveyor in disguise, making a secret survey of the property for some reason.
I decided he was harmless, although it was disconcerting to have a guest who always wanted to know the exact boundaries of the Naugas Inn land. He used a Garmin handheld GPS to create a list of waypoints for all the features of the land. He mentioned geocaching, but I don’t think he buried any secret treasure-chest objects while he was here.
His waypoints were stored in his GPS, and they were listings of latitude and longitude of our front gate, and the front door, and the overlook, and other points of interest.
He used a little GPS gadget called an Evermore GT-800 EverPhoto with his digital camera, and he said it let him geotag all his digital photos so they could be located using Google Maps or Google Earth.
After he paid his bill, the maid said that he never peeled back the covers on his bed. She thinks he slept in a sleeping bag on top of the bed. Strange!
