Where To Find Tourists
The easiest place to find a tourist is to look
for the "Beach Umbrella". You can usually find one or two hiding
underneath.
Be careful when approaching the Beach Umbrella, tourists can be very nasty if you get too close. They may start pelting you with questions like: "Do you live around here?" and "Where's a good place to eat?"
Even if there are no tourists under the Beach Umbrella you can be sure they are somewhere nearby watching their "stuff". If you walk near an unoccupied Beach Umbrella and hear "Hey!" or "Excuse Me!", you know you are too close to their "stuff".
Another great place to view tourists is at Cathedral Grove. Drive through the grove at any time of the day and they will wait until you are coming to dart out in front of your car. It is believed that the sound of an approaching car causes them to dash across roads. Please be advised that it is frowned upon to run over these tourists.
