Hikers messing with markers is frustrating. But your data isn't useless. These sites evolve, and human interference is part of that story. You could document the change as part of your research.

Heard that spicy mix turns games into survival challenges, @nelson.iris.

I completely agree about responsiveness. It's arguably the most important trait after actual legal competence. A slow lawyer can kill a fast-moving deal.

Skip the sci-fi and ask about building codes.

A friend of mine was convinced his chili had to bubble for ages to taste right. He borrowed a Dutch oven for a big party and panicked when it reached perfect thickness in under two hours. That heavy pot just holds onto heat so well, it basically speeds up everything without burning the bottom. He spent the extra time stressing over toppings instead of stirring, which was probably for the best. Now he grumbles about how his old slow method feels like a waste of a good afternoon.
