Just be glad your not by a road intersection, then you would hear click clacking and the ding ding and the flashing lights of the rail crossing a road, been there done that in a train form Sacramento to Tulsa when I was a kid.
No, don’t want that. Lived in an apartment in Forsyth Montana when I was 17, right on the tracks, a bit of annoyance when the engine’s passed, but then 15 minutes of that beautiful clicketty clack to lull me to sleep….😍

There’s a main line coming out of the container piers and Halifax about a block away from me. We don’t even notice it anymore. Only when kids cross the tracks in front of it and it blows the horn.

My Grandparents raised me and my sister, we lived maybe 200 feet from the tracks, rattled the windows every time the train went through, which was often, you learn to sleep right through it. We had the big derail and a car full of Bannas spilled out, I got sick of eating Bananas, my Grandparents were dirt poor so they took advantage of every thing.

Gotta do what you gotta do. I still know families in Cape Breton like that today. I’d be the first person to help drag a moose out of season. Just another shot in the dark down there.

My Dad bought a cabin on 160 acres, if you can call the cabin a cabin in the middle of no where, my step Mother decided no hunting by anyone, Dad was talking to me about the no hunting thing, I told him the locals had been hunting this mountain for generations and to protect the cabin he didn't need to stir the water, he thought about it for a while and realized I was right, the locals watch the cabin now, nothing is ever touched. These people hunt year around for existence.

Same as the neighbors at the camp. A couple guys are x bikers. And most are country strong. Big guys. I wouldn’t want to be the person they catch. We have those cell trail cameras on the camp. Sends a picture to your phone in about 5 minutes. Just on the driveway and containers. Neighbors usually come by on their skidoo’s this time of year and wave. Haha
My dad was born down there about 5 miles from the camp. And during the depression he was sent to live with his uncle about a mile from the camp through the woods. Two miles on the road. Our camp used to be a one room schoolhouse. We used to get a few people that went to school there stop by to see the old place and tell stories. Haha

Then they’re probably squatting in the cabin too….😂
We had to put a bar across the door and cover the windows. We always had just a lock and years ago someone broke in and stole everything. That was it.
I told an RCMP officer one time, they have balls, he said why, I said look where you are. You can take your gun out and shoot the 15 shots off, I guarantee nobody will call you. He found it hard to believe, haha. Not really.

Just starting to snow. Getting a little before the heavy rain this afternoon and evening. Going up to 60 mph winds. Should be howling.

Wow. Isn’t that cold for down there. The alligators won’t like that. 😊
Drive safe brother
Caper
Yep, they say it’s very unusual. We’re just outside Memphis now, and there’s quite a bit of lingering snow. Be staying there.
Thanks Cap….😊
