We shouldn't have to install a gate. Buckets of sand with a sign indicating it is private should be enough but the jeepers keep moving them out of the way.
As for a gate up top it would be taken down. The snowmobile clubs tried to block entry to the snowmobile trails off Liberty Hill rd and their attempts where met with a torch to all the gates.
Now you see why they are not welcome in this area, a simple sign should be enough but unfortunately it's not.
So our gate will be at the end of the road forcing a turn around. This way the gate will be in sight of two houses and hopefully will not be destroyed by those who insist on trespassing in private land. Also the use of a video camera is being considered in case the gate is tampered with.
Unless something has changed, as soon as you leave Liberty Hill road in any direction you are on private property and if caught you can be fined. I could be wrong but the last I heard the landowners do not want off road vehicles on their land.
