LIVE from the Camino Way Markers and Missing Distance Markers

[tominrm]

Way markers assure you that you are on the right track. That's a very good feeling to have when you are alone somewhere.
But everyone knows the distance marker on most of the way markers are missing. I think souvenir hunters took them. What do think of those people who took them as souvenirs?

I think they are like:
Those who took the only roll left in the public toilet to use it for his/her personal use.

 

[FLEUR]

Sad people who want souvenirs for themselves and do not consider others

Xunta should have designed the markers better. You could carve the distances on. Romans did that 2000 years ago on Via de la Plata.

Old markers in Galicia were made of stone. Last year some smart politicians decides to change them instead of cleaning the good old stones, with the result all of us know. A great quantity of wasted public money

 

[notion900]

Yeah and they like to deploy their gravel truck too.

One of the most well-known myths in Hawaii is Pele’s Curse, which — it turns out — is not an ancient myth at all. Pele’s curse says that any visitor who takes rock or sand away from the Hawaii islands will suffer bad luck until the native Hawaiian elements are returned. The warning is ubiquitous in Hawaii, but it is a modern legend and some people attribute it to a disgruntled park ranger who was sick of people carting off rocks on his watch. Still others think tour guides made up the curse to discourage tourists from bringing dirt and sand onto the buses. Either way, each year hundreds of visitors send packages back to Hawaii full of rocks, sand, and other natural materials in an effort to relieve their consciences and change their luck.
So we need to start a Legend.
The Legend of the Way Marker Numbers! (cue the spooky music)
Any number you take from the Camino, corresponds directly to the number of years of bad luck you have.
Anyone have Twitter? Billboards?
If Ivar starts receiving packages with no return address, containing bits and numbers from Way markers, our work here is done.
