    Well yesterday I put my boat down by the river, I left the chain at home, so instead of hauling it back up, I pulled up about 35 yds on to our property. Went down today to go for a ride and no boat, less than 24 hours.

    Well I went and got my canoe and paddled down stream, about 1/4 mile down is my boat. So I come up on shore and there is a colony of tent people living in the woods:eek:.

    This is an old park that has a shack a dude who has lived in there the past ten years or so, I leave him, alone and he leaves everyone else alone. Well Six of the tent dads came to greet me on shore. I ask who took my boat, they stated they found it floating down the river. I call BS and go into a rant, I told them I under why they are living like they are, but they need stay off our property and not steal our stuff. A few other words were exchanged and then I informed them If I see any of them near our property again I am calling children services since they have kids living is this tent land. I also stated if I catch a adult on our property that I would handle it.

    Our pole barn down the street has been broken into twice this summer, I think I know who did it now. I also stopped at every neighbors house and informed them of the tent colony, nobody knew. You have to come up from the river to see them.

    Bizarre

    Duke back in the day when my uncle was alive, no one messed with the farms. It as always rumored he whacked a few people and buried them back there:eek:

    He use to tell me 3 of his 4 x-wives were back there:D

    He shot himself in the foot once, now that was an intersting day to say the least:cool:

    From the stories you tell of what happens around your farm, I would say you live a little too close to Ohio. :D
