Yes, I kept out
One thing I believe almost more than I believe anything else is that “keep out” and “no trespassing” signs should be believed.
I was discussing that once with my granddaughter, the fabulous Miss Hannah Harvey, who asked me if that knowledge came from “personal experience” or not. She’s 12, but she’s perceptive.

I try to not get arrested – I’m too old for that!

I wonder what you would have found, had you disobeyed….interesting images or the wrong end of a gun….

Probably the wrong end of a gun. Or a meth lab. Or both.

Definitely to be avoided

I wonder how the rest of that conversation with the fabulous Miss Hannah went. For the record I, too, believe those signs.

She took it in stride, and then we went into an old doctor’s office – which didn’t have “keep out” signs – and then we had a conversation about how you can tell from what’s left of a building a lot about what used to be there. I reckon I am either the coolest grandparent ever, or the one who imparts the highest amounts of useless information….

Both?

Yes, I think “both” is definitely an option.

Well, like most conversations with Miss Hannah Harvey, it rambled all over the place. We discussed the way buildings fall down, a girl from school who’d recently gotten bangs (a very unpopular decision, evidently), fishing, cameras, her dad (who was home sick during our trip), and a bunch of stuff I can’t remember any more.

You inspired me to dig up my own No Trespassing photo (from a trip to Colorado last year) and that in turn inspired a whole stream of consciousness about openness. Thanks for being my muse! https://glovergardens.com/2019/09/27/reflections-no-keep-out-signs-here/

Hey – glad I could help! I liked what you had ago say. (Sorry for the delay in responding; I was off to Minnesota, looking for No Trespassing signs, among other things.)
