How often have I published pictures of the lake that forms in the field during heavy rain?? Most recently, last week!! Here is a demonstration of how soft the ground is.

!! OMG, all my fault !!
Postscript, 5:00 PM: I’m told the neighbor couldn’t pull into my yard to back up into his yard because I had the ladder and tarp* in that area.
*But I had the tarp and ladder down early on Saturday afternoon.
Three Quarters & Counting 
That doesn’t look like a big road, but why should anyone have to drive into a neighbor’s yard to get into their own driveway? That’s plain silly. Maybe the driver doesn’t have the mobility to turn and watch over his shoulder, etc…so he takes the easy way out, and uses your lot to get into his. And when that wasn’t available, he again took what he thought was another easy way…instead of parking alongside his trailer, pulling in, or just backing in by taking a series of small swipes. That’s a big vehicle for an elderly driver to use as a daily driver. And, on the other hand, maybe that’s all just part of living in such a place. But hey, you got fresh air while you were entertained…who needs a tv? š
The wife is totally blind, with a very large seeing-eye dog. They feel they need the large van (Class B mini-motorhome). And they frequently take trips to seminars, and campouts, for blind and visually impaired. ~~ Fred backs in for the convenience of his wife, and the dog.
Yes, the driveway is only one-vehicle wide. Most of the year, vehicles loop from one driveway to another driveway by driving through the field.
It’s upsetting to be told “It’s your fault.”
Especially when its not.
