There are tons of home owners who claim that they own everything and, most especially, anything you're standing on. They can get nasty about it, too. The same attitude is displayed about trail riding. I've had cattlemen who were clearly leasing public land tell me that it's theirs and me and my bicycle need to get the he** out. The house we live in had been recently surveyed before we bought it because the two women who bought the house next door insisted that the fence was encroaching on *their* land and wanted it moved. Apparently the survey shut 'em up because they've never said a word to us about it. People get weird about "their" land. The Squaxin Island tribe don't allow anyone to land on their island but they do maintain a launch and parking area that they let anyone use. And they have a terrific museum with some very interesting archeological displays (including an ancient fishing weir). Sorry for the confusion, Brad.
