This is my phone this morning.
Wife and I have a cabin on 7 acres that we only get to a few times a year. We are one of 5 places on a little 10 acre pond/lake. We have been here 10 years and everyone else is newer. The driveway is about 15’ from the back door, which is open while we are here. We bring our dogs (German Shorthair Pointers) and they run on gps collars.
Am I just a Karen? Or could it be that I bought a cabin on 7 acres to get away from people like that? Neighbor asking is mid 60’s retired and moved permanently to their cabin from NJ.

While I understand that the purpose of the remoteness is remoteness, the neighbors are in their 60’s, this isn’t and odd occurrence for someone in that age range. People used to associate with their neighbors. My Mom talks to any and every neighbor she sees out on her multiple walks every day.

That part I get.
It’s that they want to take a walk on my property because it is nicer than theirs and it’s not like they are walking past, it is through the middle of the property and right along the cabin. Like ‘can I come hang out in your backyard, it’s nicer than mine’.
It’s not the social aspect, it’s the entitlement.
At one point, someone took down some trees and part of a fence to make a path for their golf cart and 4 wheeler. I put the fence back up.

Just wow. In that case tell them no. Gotta set boundaries quick or they’ll keep at it. Unbelievable.

I would be like , my dogs don't like other dogs if you don't want to have your dogs anymore go right ahead. I don't like people that's why I bought a remote piece of property.

Ok yeah that’s crazy. Didnt realize it was right through the middle of the property. Anyone taking a leisurely stroll through anybody’s property in my neck of the woods runs the risk of 12 gauges of “excuse me”. And that’s in SoCal!!

So, I’m not in left field on this one. I’m not just Carl Fredrickson from ‘UP’

I mean their first text says it all. ‘I know that you and your family is here but I still want to trespass hundreds of yards through your property, with someone else and their pets which your dogs might eat. ‘ From a retired executive.

I would tell them your dogs are muthafukkin Jedis and then send them this.

They put you in a tight spot by asking.
No answer is an answer, but they can use that against you to ask again.
We have 70 acres here, and nothing that matters is visible from the highway, for reasons.
If you say yes once, it's yes forever, and it will devolve into them not even asking anymore.
You can't get back to where you are now without a LOT of stress and worry.
Politely, No.
If they ask why, then it's because you asked and that was the answer. Thanks for asking. That was neighborly and the right thing to do.

If me, I would go to their front door, knock on it and have an adult discussion with them express my opinion on the subject. This is not something I would leave to text as tone, inflection, facial expression is left out and does not convey the meaningfulness of the subject matter.

Did coed prisons even exist during the time frame this was supposed to occur in? Pretty sure they didn’t yet.
