Our property has a river running all along the border. It’s a reasonably big river and most traffic are small boats with outboards.
However, there are a few floaters in summer.
There is a very nice gravel bar on our property. We use it a lot for afternoon bbq’s and bonfires. We have signs posted.
For the most part, all is fine. Every once in a while it’s clear folks stop and eat and drink on their float trip.
One day, we drive down on the ATV’s for dinner and there is a group (maybe 10) young adults there with 5 canoes drug ashore. They are drinking and had built a rotisserie, started a fire and were cooking ribs!
So —- I say “did ya’ll see the signs”? They say “uh yea but it’s such a nice stopping point”. Well, they are honest.
Turns out they were good kids and they offered to share some ribs. We had a good talk, ate some ribs and corn, they cleaned up all their stuff and went along. We have used their homemade rotisserie several times since.
