I hope you realize that EVERY Geocacher looks plenty suspicious wherever we are caching. I'd be more suspicious of someone at night stopped in an urban or suburban area, lurking around, than someone in the daytime in wilderness/rural Maine with backpacks and "electronic devices" (these electronic devices you say us Geocachers use...don't they merely resemble a cell phone? They certainly are no bigger than a cell phone, so I don't know how that could look suspicious). What you don't get is that merely looking suspicious is not probably cause to be questioned or even detained by law enforcement. Many of you have become sheep in this society where you immediately bow down to a flash of the police badge or car or uniform even though you shouldn't have to. There is a Constitution for a reason. Maybe you should read it.
