TRESPASSING WOMAN HIT BY TRAIN

She's lucky. <br />Spent this weekend doing a detail at a local dirt track. Right next to the track is a clay quarry. It's four wheeler heaven. Two years ago, a sixteen year old flipped his four wheeler on the property, and broke his arm. The parents sued the quarry owners. Out of the thirteen arrests we made this weekend, 11 of them were for trespassing in the quarry, which is now heavily posted with "No Trespassing" signs. One of the arrests has the additional charge of resisting arrest, when we had to chase his four wheeler for about a mile before six officers boxed him in and caught him. <br /> <br />It's a shame that people who can use property responsibly don't have a way of getting permission to do so. Owners of industrial property are deathly afraid of law suits like this one. They tend to close the property to everyone- in a railroad's case, to people like you or I, someone who has a good idea of what's safe and what's stupid. In the case of the quarry, the "good" four wheelers- those who were out sightseeing- got nailed just as hard as the idiots looking for a place to "open her up". <br /> <br />There's got to be a middle, more moderate road in there somewhere, but I don't know what it is. I'll keep investing in telephoto lenses to take my pictures... <br /> <br />Erik
