I live in the middle of the woods...for perspective...my nearest full time neighbor is a half mile away...the nearest store is 12 miles.

Now in the summer..there is a camp with about 15 trailers about a quarter a mile away.  A family (a cult like family I wanna call it) owns it...u know the kind....all clannish an stuff.  They only come up in summer.   They are from the city...and come down here for weekends in the summer.

They have a huge party on the 4th every year....about 500 people.  Major fireworks and mayhem.

Plus they make a lot of noise just being there.

Their "right of way" goes through my land.

Over the years drunks have trespassed on my property many times...stolen my rasberries...cut down my trees...and messed up my road.

I have always been a good neighbor  .I have even pulled some of em outta the ditch numerous times<<<only the nice ones though


SO they had there big party today.  I blew off tannerite at my house... cuz it's the 4th!...not to piss anyone off....totally legal...at my house...one about 1pm...one about  4 and one about 7.... Mind u a quarter mile away..totally safe....on my land.

So...I ran into the main guy who runs the whole thing and he jumped all over me for doin' it. He just had a fireworks show that would shame a town park.

I basically was cool...and pretty much said "oh well".

Went home and blew off 2 more pounds.

Was I right or wrong?

I'd line both sides of the "right of way" with it and give them a farewell they wouldn't soon forget.

So, all things considered, you were a saint.

You do nothing wrong. I'd have done much worse but that's just me.

Thanks.....sometimes it helps to get an outside view lookin' in.  I tried to be as honest with my assessment as I could so as not to skew the results.   :)

I'm sure the local troopers do not like summer downstaters, I know I never did.

Totally in the right. I'd have reacted much worse. You're way too nice, especially with the way these bozos are disrespecting you and your property. I am fighting myself not going off on a rant about how people no respect for one another any longer....

Anyway, as long as your property lines are clearly marked with either fences or signs, I'd 'arm' myself and 'shoot' every single one of them that trespasses. Then call local law enforcement to handle the rest. I'm sure they'd have a hard time arguing their innocence with your pictures as proof. What? Did you all think I meant to really shoot them shoot them?

Their "right of way" goes through my land.  Friend of mine got into a dispute with the other land owner because he was abusing the "right of way" well after the last toe-to-toe he went and got a D8 Cat dozier, dropped the blade and cut a rut right across the ROW it was a good 18" down, for "drainage"  (there, cross that.)  

Over the years drunks have trespassed on my property many times...stolen my raspberries...cut down my trees...and messed up my road.   your local DEC Officer may be able to help

I have always been a good neighbor  .I have even pulled some of em outta the ditch numerous times<<<only the nice ones though as a good neighbor should

I basically was cool...and pretty much said "oh well".

Went home and blew off 2 more pounds. God bless you, Ya know, legal shooting hours begin 1/2 hour before sunrise....we used to fire a cannon and play revelry while raising the Flag everymorning....hell of a way to wake up when you have a hangover.

Was I right or wrong?   If both of you want to be friends and good neighbors, so be it. If you want to be an asshole, pulling that "city" shit, then we can have all sorts of fun & games.
BTW: "Get off my lawn!
