In the middle of nowhere with plenty of woods and farmland. My father used to hunt there. Remember Tom Sawayer? >From time to time, usually in the summer, some city folks parked and camped on our property. Most of them went away when we politely asked them to leave. One day we saw a whole bunch of noisy city folks arriving with a huge camping car. When we asked them to leave they used more than rough language and gestures. In no time the place was filled with al sorts of garbage. The solution looked simple to me. Guess wat followed next. Instead of taking one of pa's riffles, I went to one of our friendly neighbours, a farmer who of course had such machines and who didn't like these invasions at all. When I asked him to dig a large and deep ditch cutting off their way to the next road, he agreed with a large smile. The job was done in no time. I was realy impressed by his job. A day or so later these campers tried to go home.... and discovered the problem. They asked us for help. We told them to clean the whole place and pay the farmer. So they did and never came back. Don't tell Pa.
