Almost 10 years ago I did a project that was rush-rush. Had to drop everything to get this done because it was going to be built right away.

Well, fast forward to this Christmas, I was nearby the site while traveling and stopped by to see the new construction that is just being finished up. Drove into the new parking lot to take a look see. It looked pretty much like the plans that I saw ten years ago-at least as I remember. As I left I saw a sign I didn't see when I drove in. I think this could be worded a bit differently.

Somehow that just doesn't sit right.

Maybe Construction Area...

It bothers me too

"State Property
Do not molest"

Usually on a gravel pile.

I wonder what kind of person would do that, and why there were so many doing it, that they made a law against it.

I hope they catch everybody that is found molesting a gravel pile!

Oh, I know there will be certain types of state property that need to be secure.

Jails come to mind.

This site will be open to the public when it's finished. It's odd to see that sign there when it's really about the construction and has little or nothing to do with it being state property.

Kind of like putting up a COUNTY PROPERTY-KEEP OUT sign at the courthouse.

Anyway, I just had to chuckle about it after driving around the site; then seeing the sign.

an oxymoron..

fer sure..."PRIVATE PUBLIC PROPERTY".

I heard in a seminar once (can't vouch for the validity) that U.S. Forest Property and the NORAD site at Cheyenne Mountain technically fall in the same Federal "property" category...one you can probably run nekkid in...probably not the other.;-)

I heard once that if a fire truck, an ambulance , a police car and a mailman all come to a four way stop at once that the mailman gets the right of way because he is federal.

Dear Lord, please help restrain me from making a "getting your rocks off" joke. I'm trying real hard, but I am not sure I can hold off.

This is like having to have a permit to take photographs of BLM lands. This used to be quite strictly enforced in the areas of Northern Arizona where the condors were reintroduced (always had a problem with that terminology too!)...

Our main question is "do we give the waive to local and federal vehicles going the opposite direction?"

One school of thought is that we outrank local FDs so we don't waive at them but federal? Maybe they won't reciprocate.

It may be a closed area. Ours say "State Park Boundary, All laws and regulations enforced."

Could be that was the end of the parcel designated as the "park" property, and after that was DEP controlled wetlands, or some such thing.
