An odd interaction with the Botany Police

[BernieL]

While I was out at the mound today, a state police truck pulled up in front of the fence. It then proceeded to drive up on to the mound itself. At first, Matt and I thought that they were just up there to have a break, but alas; they emerged.
Heading over towards us, they asked us what we were doing. One even said that she knew we were photographing airplanes, but still wanted to know what we were doing. Allegedly, there had been a complaint that someone was spotting? I don't know, it seemed very strange. What is even more odd is that the mound is AFP land, and furthermore the owner of this forum often speaks with AFP about our plans.
I have to ask: what was going on?

Errr...the mound is 'AFP land'? The state cops have just as much right to be there as the feds and I've seen them during all hours of the day and night patrolling around there.

If they took no action on the spot, then I think it's fair to say there was nothing going on.

When I was out there today, there were a few people there - one had a gawdy airplane shirt on.

Maybe they had a complaint about a crime against fashion.

Where, exactly, is 'the mound' ??
