ulstermanDriving in the country
We have no gas stations close by or stop and robs. Yes, sometimes your GPS will mess up.
A suggestion if I may?
1. Don't head out with a 1/4 tank of gas. Especially if you drive 15 miles from home just to get here. No, I won't loan you gas. I know, you'll pay me back when you can (I'm smarter than I look).
2. If you drive a POS, better not head out this way. No, I can't fix you exhaust system when it falls off or your serpentine belt that is shredded or your water pump that has been leaking for two months.
2. No, you can't have a picnic in the woods. Why? The last couple of people we allowed to do that left a shit ton of garbage on the ground and one damn near burnt the place to the ground with a huge fire. I know, you wouldn't do that.
3. Yes, that's a real gun and no, you can't see it. I'm sorry you are scared of guns and no, they aren't evil.
4. The pigs and cows aren't pets. Yes, we will butcher them. No, we're not savages. How do you think meat gets into the supermarket?
5. Yea, funny that I look a lot like a cop that arrested you. I get that a lot.

Well, your area sounds lots like mine used to (except the cop and livestock), some how or another I don't get the refugees like I did 10 years ago.

41 We have some of these types when hiking/fishing in the National Forest.
The last group of three tried to get friendly and were swimming in the reservoir that says NO SWIMMING.
Forest Ranger passed them on the way in and could see they were wearing swimming apparel.
Next they had a fire for roasting hot dogs, etc and left with it still burning. On the way out, they broke just about every glass bottle laying along the trail.

ulstermanForgot: Yes, the dogs bite. That's why there signs up. No, don't put you fingers/hand thru the fence, they will probably come back shorter than they went in.

ZSMICHAELYeah I get it. I grew up in the inner city and then lived in rural Wisconsin for two years. I learned a lot. Also worked in the East Tennessee backwoods, and the Smokey Mountain National Park as a volunteer.
The stories the Park Rangers told me were incredible. They got sick of tourists asking them the names of the trees, picking the wildflowers, and asking where to find the bears so they could take pictures. It was hard for them not to be sarcastic.

The bull chased you when you jumped the fence? Maybe he can read the no trespassing signs that you didn't.

IronbuttYes, I know the roads are in poor repair. We like them that way. It keeps the assholes from the cities & burbs from coming up here.

Don't let them bring flare guns.

Last group we let have a picnic built a bonfire you could see from space. Then they left and it was still burning. Caught grass on fire and we had the VFD come out. They left all kinds of crap with their names and address on it and got a healthy fine an the opportunity to come back out and clean it up.
