probably in trouble now (or at least being watched for sure)

[Kali]

so, I have my phone number posted on a sign up at the end of our road in the often futile hope that "visitors" will at least give me a heads up before they "drop by"

Just had a call from a Border Patrol Agent wanting to know if it would be alright for him to drive down the road to "get a feel for the area." I said "Well, actually NO, I don't really like you guys cruising around through here unless you really have to."

I wonder if anybody else around here runs them off? I'm thinking NOT.

1. it's perfectly appropriate to deny access....

That's why he called.

[Kali]

2. I think it is beyond appropriate - I think it is important.

We give up too much for fake reasons of "safety" or "security." Still, I'm sure it red flags me to do it. Just say no to invasion of privacy and/or unreasonable searches!

3. Wait until they find out about your favorite radio station!

:patriot:

I like what you did.

5. hey!

:hi:

going to be cold up here tonight, might even snow tomorrow

[Ptah]

7. Yes, cold and wet coming thru.

:hi:

4. Who cares

You ain't doing nothing wrong, and every moment they waste watching you is another that they are not harassing someone less fortunate.

[Kali]

6. I suppose that is a good point.

Or maybe I should encourage them to drive the road - likely to cause more business for the local mechanic }(

8. How close are you to the border?

I agree with you but just wondering why he thought it wa important to know the area?

[Kali]

10. 50-60 miles

we get a LOT of "traffic"

[rcrush]

9. I dont understand

I'm not making the connection between the sign with your number on it and the visitors and the dropping by.

12. I'm on a ranch in SE Arizona

The sign at the entry road says private property and it is about 2 miles back into the house. We get a lot of migrant traffic through here. I have a bit of a reputation for being hostile to the whole situation and I suspect it was a new guy. Probably his buddies put him up to it.}(

edit - not sure if I understood your not understanding - I like for people to call first so I can run around like a headless chicken trying to straighten the house and maybe put on a less dirty shirt - things like that.:rofl: our road is so bad that I usually have at least 20 minutes!

11. Good for you!
