Even if you know where to look it is hard to find.

Except for the minimum wage guy with the ladder, and some random owl flying through your yard.

It's the nature of life.

It would have to be quite a ladder. The wire is 80 feet off the ground, at the end of a half mile long driveway, on a downward slope of about 200 feet . As I said, we are in the woods..... BIG trees.

Our only real issue is wind, which takes down big branches. We have only had to re-set the wire once when a falling branch shifted it. Not hard to do with a slingshot with fishing line and weight attached for that very purpose. The wire has a line on each end with a weight, to allow the trees to move. That way the wire floats over each branch it sits on, and it isn't stretched and broken.
