Your constant reference to the Taco wagon makes me hungry for Mexican food...lol Gonna have to take the wife out to the local (and excellent Mexican beanery)....
Better than calling police because they rarely show up and if they do trespasser usually claims to have permission and doesn't get arrested.
No penalities for property crimes here almost across the board...
But they have to prove that he flattened the tires and screwed the doors shut...
One use of a gate like that is if you run through it to steal my boulders you couldn't claim you thought they were there to be picked up by garbage collector. Another use is in the event I shoot you off your toy Japanees tractor a judge might find it easier to believe when I tell him you were acting aggressive and I thought you trying to run me over. If your question is rhetorical ,trespass law might be out of your field.
Interesting gate and wire, I'm glad I don't feel the need for that much security. Although I have considered a gate at times just as a precaution.
I can answer that question. He would stop to get a picture beside it. We have leased public land for more than 50 years and starting about 8 years ago crowds began geathering on it to chant and do things that make little sense. Tour buses and campaign buses often stop to take pictures of them selves standing by gates and leave BLM flags. The signs on fences and gates saying BLM faded over the decades. The visitors repainted several old signs and placed BLM flags next to them. Strange and never happened first 40 years we leased the land but now cowboys that tend livestock have people watching in the middle of nowhere.
One of my sisters keeps a basket of Catholic literature just inside her front door and makes them trade.
I installed one of the E8 openers on my front gate a few years ago. It's worked flawlessly ever since. I've been very impressed with it so far. I ran 12/2 direct buy romex 800 feet to the gate. It's on a 20 amp breaker and I'm probably losing about half of that power over that distance, but it still enough to power the opener and 4 LED lights that stay on all night.
Well, first off, it's not an American flag. So don't be so offended.
I'm in the process of researching gate openers, as my wife wants some decorative gates installed at the end of our driveway. Would you be willing to share the details of your solar setup, brands/model numbers of components? I'm debating the option of solar vs ditching and running house power about 450' to the gates.
