Having just found and read a series of vignettes I wrote quite some time ago, together with the news I'm getting about people re-opening closed memorials in Washington and National Parks in Utah, made me remember something about one of the incidents of those vignettes that I did not include.
It has to do with the hunting one.
We wanted to hunt on public land but the only access was via someone's property. Everyone told us to forget it, that they would never give us permission to go through.
Well we went to them and told them that we were going hunting.
Great! Where are you going?
Well, we have some property so we're going to go there.
Where's it at?
We explained that it's ours because we're American Citizens and that it's the land blocked by their access, so could they please let us through their land so we could go hunt on OUR OWN land?
They said let us know how you do, okay?
The point is that they recognized our right to have access to OUR OWN PROPERTY and didn't quibble about it or try to keep us out.
