Ridiculous people

On my property there is a road that four neighbors use to access their land. It cuts across a corner of my land. There is no easement per se, but a gentleman's agreement to allow the road to exist. I mow along it to keep it nice, and trim the trees back so its not obstructed.

So last Tuesday, I hook up my car trailer to go pick up a car, and pull out of the yard. I find that most of the lights on it are burned out, or otherwise not functioning. Because its not currently registered, and its dark out, I decide to park the trailer. In the process, it slides in mud and becomes stuck. Since there is a bunch of mud, the truck just isn't pulling it. A quick check finds that the trailer is clear of the road, less than a foot, but clear of the road.

Because of the weather, I opt to leave the trailer there until a good freeze solves the mud, and I can yank on it with the truck. The next afternoon, one of the neighbors comes and demands that I move the trailer immediately. Why?

"Because when we wreck coming down this hill, that's where we wreck."

Next summer, I plan to put railroad ties as posts along the road to be sure they don't have to worry about wrecking in my yard anymore.
