Yes. Once in '82 my pals and I discovered a small resevoir back in the hills, don't remember exactly where, anyway, we to dove in to cool off and soon along came a couple of guys, one carrying a .22 rifle, who informed us that we were tresspassing and to leave. Which we did. And then in May of '90, while camped out at Woodford "celebrating" the days railfanning exploits, we heard on the scanner something about a broken rail near Keene, so we hopped in this guys jeep ('44 GPW w/a Mercury Capri V6) and headed over there to check it out. So we get there and find the track gang already there and starting their work. It was about 10 or 11 PM. Pretty soon a couple of Ceaser's boys show up in a small pick-up and proceed to tell us that we were on private property, which we countered it was railroad property. (although we did cross their property to get there) Unphased, the leader (the english speaker) insisted we show some ID, which we less than respectfuly declined to do so. They did not appear to be armed. (a couple of us were) So we decided it best to avoid confrontation and to go back to camp, as this was cutting into our drinking time. We figured they would follow us to their property line, but instead they contiued to follow us on the main road. We hit the gas and quickly lost them. We then pulled off on the bluff above Woodford and killed the motor and the lights and watched them zip right on by. We thought this all rather amusing. So, the next morning those same guys drove slowley through Woodford, right in front of us and gave us dirty looks, which we returned. They didn't stop or say anything, they just kept on going. Never saw them after that.
