Comment: Sorry for late response

Hi Melinda,

To elaborate, I meant that your neighbor that keeps reporting you seems out to get you, and that reducing your interactions with them might be a worthwhile goal. Not sure whether a fence would help to limit their view of your activities -- and I understand there's an expense involved with that solution.

The son sounds like someone to be wary of as well. (Caution, that is, not fear.)

I like the idea others have offered, of a military-style temporary bridge, as that would provide for the maximum leeway for the fish, and as long as you place it on "not-wetlands" footing on either side it sounds like a reasonable temporary solution, that might be permanently temporary, perhaps. Also have a bicycle or ATV on the other side, to use in your yard, both in the meantime and if they decide to destroy your bridge.

I find the whole idea of wetlands to be completely wrong. This is my property; how anyone can have a claim to my property is beyond me. I mean, I understand that they do it -- it's just not constitutional.

I'm considering purchasing some wetlands here that are under 10k and then mounting a fight to eliminate wetland classification. If the fight costs less than 100k it might be worth doing. Perhaps I can find some like minds.
