    Oh, Camera!

    There is a large abandoned house along the trail surrounded by a tall chain link fence with government warning signs telling people to keep out. When the previous owner died he left his house and property to the state. I spoke with a woman that told me when she was a kid she, her brother and her...

    Oh, Camera!

    On the subject of trespassing, I can't be too upset about people mildly coming onto my private property because I sometimes do the same myself. Not on occupied property, but I have done my share of exploring abandoned areas. It is said that the Olympic Discovery Trail follows an old railroad...

    Oh, Camera!

    If I was going to install a sign that is the kind of sign that I would use. Most people that wonder up my driveway turn around when they see the cameras. The ones that don't turn around probably would not turn around because of a sign either. I don't mind people just coming up the driveway but...

    Oh, Camera!

    There have been problems with trespassing on the ODT as well so signs have been put up telling people to respect private property. Many years ago when the trail was being built there were a lot of disputes with property owners. They were opposed to the trail bringing the general public so close...

    Oh, Camera!

    I can't say for sure what was going through their heads but it's not easy to confuse my driveway with the trail. Especially since there was a trail sign just to their left shoulders. It is more likely that they saw a nice place to walk and explore, and they were trying to figure out if people...

    Oh, Camera!

    Right. The vast majority of people that walk past the end of my driveway are just out for some sun, fun and exercise. The trail that passes by my driveway is part of a trail system that is over 130 miles long which stretches across the northern part of the Olympic Peninsula. It is called the...

    Oh, Camera!

    She was carrying a bucket of freshly picked blackberries. Some of which were picked from my driveway. She was picking along the trail and at the end of my driveway when she spotted the blackberry bushes that encircle my entire property. She wandered up my driveway as she picked until she finally...

    Oh, Camera!

    They thought about coming up the driveway but then the woman saw a camera, pointed at it and then they all retreated. This happens from time to time but a while back a woman passed by two cameras before noticing a third. After seeing it she looked like a deer in the headlights.

    I had considered titling the post "Can't Go Back Without a Friend", but I went with the simple option :-)

    Neurological disorders can leave a person with a reasonable amount of strength in their legs, but they may lack the muscle control, coordination or balance to walk. This sometimes happens with stroke victims. Also, just because a person is in a wheelchair that does not mean that they can't walk...

    The trike was moving pretty fast. It had just come down a hill and across a smooth flat bridge before hitting the gravel. The gravel is being kicked up by the wheels as he plows through it. I have not seen the trike before so he is probably not from this area. I imagine that he was surprised by...

    To add conspiracy to the otherwise factual posts in this thread, I Googled the license plate number of the Focus and found that a person with a username that matches the plate has posted a bunch of porn videos. It's unlikely that the two things are related, but a conspiracy theorist with an...

    I wouldn't say that. Based on the response the sheriff office gave the deputy was only able to contact the redhead passenger. As long as she was not willing to spill the beans on what might have been going on the deputy would not have any actionable information. It's been my experience that the...

    I reported this event to the police via their online reporting tool. I wrote a description, attached a photo and gave them a link to the video. It took them quite a while to respond but this is what they had to say. "Greetings, Clallam County Sheriff`s Office was dispatched to this call and the...

    Canadian Smoke tonight got intense...

    I have heard that weed is popular in the north. So maybe ..... :-) It happens here in Washington state as well. Sometimes we get a double whammy with smoke from both California and Canada.

    The police don't patrol that street even though I have asked them to multiple times. They only come by when they are called. It's a short street and the sheriff spent just enough time to drive to the end and back. The creepiest part of the video for me was how the redhead behaved. She was...

    What appears to be a road is actually a paved walking trail. Just beyond the right edge of the frame is a bridge, and then beyond that the trail roughly parallels the highway for many many miles. From the bridge you would have to walk around half a mile before getting to the first house...

    It's not obvious in the video because the camera does not have a microphone, but the driver of the pickup was yelling out the window as if she was calling for a lost dog. I could hear her inside my house as she drove around and called out.

    Unfortunately not. The current camera has an 8 to 32 mm lens and is placed up the driveway a bit and zoomed in on the street. I have thought about putting a couple of the cameras on the big tree near the street to increase the view angle but that is a very popular area for walkers and I don't...

    The guy told a person in the Subaru that he works for a local business that sent him out to collect stuff that blew off of a random passing truck. The guy seems to care about the quality of his work by the way he neatly folded the plastic, and he even went out of his way to pick up some sticks...

    Uneventful video, but it may provide some ASMR value.
