While hiking, I had the startling experience of being surrounded by 6 large dogs. Within 10 minutes, their owner, Debbie came by and introduced herself. Debbie is one of our neighbors. She lives in the white house across from Logan's place. Over the 8 years that she has lived there she has taken on the mission of adopting stray dogs. People drive from nearby cities and "dump" the dogs. Some have been in pitiful shape when she finds them. Dave Watts gave her permission to run the dogs at Riverbend. I believe that she is a good resource for us as an observer and monitor of activities. She tells me that she saw no deer hunters this year but that recently, other game hunters have been active on the property.
Our main roadway continues to deteriorate but remains passable. Small cars must drive with care to avoid potholes. We will eventually need to repair these.
I must sadly report some significant vandalism to a vehicle that we left on the property. Someone smashed all of the windows and removed tools and books that we have kept there. The damage went beyond simple breaking and entering and showed a lot of anger. We have removed the vehicle to a local auto salvage yard.
My current feeling is that we will need to definitively secure the property to prevent use of the property by others.
