more wonderful neighbors...

I've got a similar situation to you.

The local map shows my drive as being a road that connects through to a development. So I get the occasional tourist (most locals know it doesn't go through) pulling into my drive looking very confused. I even had a guy drive right past my house, garage and into the pasture to turn around. I couldn't believe it. I stopped him and asked him what he was doing and I got the deer in the headlights look. Sometimes I wonder how some people survive in this world.

That's one of the benefits of being at the top of the food chain (on land). If we lived in the ocean, there'd be some well fed predators...

on our land we have the constant barage of "friends" of the family that sat idly by and watched the land go into foreclosure until my father and I bought it back on the land hunting fishing riding atvs camping etc and everytime they drive right thru posted signs and gates to do as they please with the "blessing of people that have not 1 cent interest in the property. It really galls me when people take everything and everyone for granted. One of the offenders has 250 acres of land posted to the hilt signs every 25 ft food plots for deer and turkeys metal gates up at evry access and he was up on our land with 5 friends putting up tree stands!!!! I ejected them and asked him why he didn't hunt his own land . His answer ..... I am growing back the deer and turkey population and I don't want them harassed. CAN YOU BELIEVE that??? I have already purchased gates and larger concrete blocks to put up as soon as the weather breaks. It never ends we always find beer cans and bottles and trash in our back pastures muddy ruts in our hay fields . People just have no manners. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

When I moved here there was an old shack on the land behind me.
When I put in a driveway to my trailer it looked like it was the road up to this shack.
For many year people tried to use my drive way to get to that shack instead of the road that did go to their driveway.
Finally the family moved out and the shack was torn down.
The land sat vacant for many years before somebody bought it and put a 7 home subdivision up there.
Now it looks like my driveway is the road that connects to the subdivision street and I'm back to people occasionally trying to access the subdivision street by using my driveway,
When they were building the houses sometimes the builders and contractors came in my driveway trying to get up there to the subdivision.
The farthest anyone got before realizing my driveway wasn't the way up there is the guy that came flying into the driveway drove on past the end of the drive continued clear through the yard and across the ditch and got about half way up the hill before it sank in that he was in someones yard instead of on a driveway or road.
