Our property is just a few feet along the road, then there's a gate into a more private community, then our property continues maybe another 125 feet. Barbed wire apparently surrounds that 150 acres or so.
While walking Jessie back to the house, the little dog and I noticed the gate to The Preserve was open, so we thought we'd check the erosion along our property line which we never see (since it rained hard today). We did see a couple deer antlers. The gate swung shut - it's on a delay.
But no motion sensor on the other side.
No way out!
Trapped!
All it takes is the weight of a car or a ton of metal over a hidden grid to escape!
We tried to be casual while making up a good excuse. 'You know that sign that says keep out? Well, we, uh, were, uh, looking at, the dirt and missed it, and, uh, ...'
Finally a neighbor we knew came along and busted us. We exchanged pleasantries then Jessie and I scurried away like rats in the New York Subway when the train is coming.
