I haven't seen this mentioned, but I'm sure you all know about it, but purple paint is the same as a no trespassing sign. It can't be taken down, and it's just as illegal to cross beyond the purple paint as it is to go past a no trespassing sign. We are lucky where our place is. We are absentee owners, but have become part of the community. Lots of good neighbors that are all full timers. They watch our place when we aren't around. I haven't put up a sign, paint, fence, or gate. So far, but I'm always looking for signs that someone has been around.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
