Snack-fari?

The HG Safari clubhouse on OSGrid is closing down, because now the travel group's main HQ is on a dedicated grid, hopefully you already know that if your planning on joining us in the next season of trips. 

The HG Address of the new sim is at the end of  the post, where it belongs.

New HG Safari sim

So - exciting times, but it is a bit of a sad goodbye to the sim that Ange Menges gifted in the fall of 2021 when it became very clear that our old home on FrancoGrid wasn't going to be viable any more as our main base for the revamped HG Safari group.

Over past months, regular visitors to the HG Safari sim on OSGrid may have noticed gentle reminders that it's closing, as the land got smaller and features like the Archive House, the Self Guided Tours, the Marketplace, the dancing places, and the mesh clothing store, Meshanthropy, all gradually disappeared.

 Leaving just the mountain in the osgrid ocean. 

At the end all that remains is the LM giver - it contains a notecard explaining about the change of venue for the new Safari season in September, should anyone drop by, wondering what's going on.

And a crocodile, because, why not.

Of course, when you take down all your prims, it's always interesting to find stuff that has been lost at 1.1.1. or as invisible or microscopic or high in the sky and has just been lurking there the whole time. I was pretty impressed with myself that there were only a handful of such things. 

In the end, there was just one object showing up, belonging to Francogrid Thirza, so a bit of history - a relic of a bygone age. Eventually I found it, at the top of the mountain.

Yes, it's tiny. Can't be edited, so - a ghost perhaps? That would be appropriate. 

Here's another photo of it... what do you think it is?

Tasty souvenir, possibly past its sell by date

Surely that qualifies as a not-possible-in-rl find. It certainly brought some weirdness to the final days of the sim, which in terms of weirdness has had its fair share of experiences. 

If you're interested in hosting the Safari this Fall, do get in touch via Discord or inworld  (OSGrid Thirza's still around and active, the sim/grid change is just for logistical purposes) and let's see if we can come up with a plan. 

Our new main base is here ...

... and our trips begin again on September 4
