I must say that I do not take kindly to people trespassing on our private property. One of the reason's is certainly the fear of being sued if someone falls or such. So, I do not allow those without permission.

I find it odd that you (Tom C) would be ok with it. Even though Coley had permission...... what if he didn't and someone fell in the water off the dock? What if someone was more than injured? The vast percentage of our population (unfortunately!) doesn't take responsibility for their own actions and would point blame at the owner.

Coley, I understand that you had permission and am not throwing stones by any means.
