I don’t live in this county but I do live in mountains with one neighbor my wife’s mom and you are on your own for the most part anyway. Response time can vary from 10 minutes to 45 minutes. After dark if I don’t know you I answer door with a pistol in my hand behind my back or in my belt. If a strange car pulls up and doesn’t just turn around at my place or moms my oldest son and I investigate, fully armed. She’s a widow woman and will blow you away if you try and break in on her, damned good shot.
We live by the local national park and during the shutdown they started leaving places in park open all the time drawing in lots of neerdowells and some have missed their park rendezvous and pulled up at our place. The latest was a woman in a beat up car at 8:00pm in winter. My wife and I confronted her in her moms driveway and when asked who are you and what are you doing up here? We get stutters and stammering oh she’s looking for picnic area? At 8:00pm in the middle of winter and it 15 degrees ? I told her we keep eye on everything up here and if we don’t know you we will be asking why you are here. She apologized profusely and got out of there. Ignored the no trespassing sign at property entrance. Clearly not national park. Stay armed and aware of your surroundings.
Nice doggie.
Nice looking set of fangs — and probably would not hesitate to bite.
