We got to 65 today, but it’s going to be colder from now until at least next Wednesday.

I worked all day installing a chain across the driveway with pvc pipe on it striped with reflective tape & a metal sign “private driveway no turnaround”. We are the best driveway on our stretch of road for turning around : wide & paved. Some folks even come as far as the loop to the front door, turn around there so they are facing out back at the main road. I’m tired of watching people use the driveway & it’s going to get worse when ‘touron’ season starts, especially since we are on the road to the river & half a mile from where rafters, kayaks, tubers & boats put in.

It will be a pain for us & we’ll have to leave it down if we’re not home or expecting a delivery, but it will save a lot of wear & tear on the driveway & aggravation for me/mom.

You’d think a sign would be enough, but I know it won’t be. Sorry that you have to do this. Don’t people know how to make 3 point turns anymore? You don’t need someone’s driveway to accomplish it. Works on any road.
