I live on the side of a mountain. Nearest house towards the bottom is about a 1/4 mile. The next house on the road above me is 3 1/2 miles.

I have some family from North Carolina up on vacation. I look off our deck and here is a guy right in front of my house in the middle of the road peeing right there. Now I live surrounded by state forest preserve millions of threes rocks everywhere to go but to pick right there in front of us.

Well I go total freak out on him. Now he is trying to zip up and grab his backpack when a women forest ranger is heading down the hill and stops me. She witnessed my behavior and now I'm in her sights.

I explained to her what occurred and her response is What do you want me to do as a statement and not a question. I tell her to do what she should do. She approaches the guy and tells him to appologise to me and gets back in her truck and splits.

Bad on her part, but WTF 20 thousand acres and he needs my 200 feet to wizz.

Here on of my pet peves.........People who don't clean up after their dogs.

We have several walkers go by daily. One we know and she has 2 Standard Poodles I witnessed one of the go up on my stone wall along the road and pinch one out. Now I had found this other times and never figured it out until now.
Well she is good friends with our closest neighbor I run into her socializing occasionally so I figured to keep my cool until she came down the road.

I see her coming and just happen to need to check the mail and started a conversation with her and I suddenly stopped by the pile in clear view and said who the h*ll would let the dog do THAT. She plays dummy and agrees. That was it I said to her I watched you and the dogs stopped one leaves the deposit and than the three of you go along your way.

I just gave her the look and she knew. Every day she seems to pick up the pace now going past the house.

But almost daily some one lets their dog drop one on the grass between the stonewall and blacktop. As said before 1/4 mile below till first house 3 1/2 mile up till the next. and they need my 200 feet.

Not to mention the road is gated off just past my house for the 3 1/2 mike section fron November until April 15th so not even cars traffic to contend with.
