Walnut Collecting

I see somebody fenced off the trail to the sound. That eliminates a lot of good videos!
That's only temporary. A few years ago the bridge washed out, and they did a crappy job of repairing it. This time around they're doing a much better job. They picked up the bridge, moved it to the side, built some wooden forms for the end supports, and filled them with concrete. They recently removed the wooden forms and they are starting to fill in with dirt and gravel around the concrete supports. It probably won't be long before they lift up the bridge again and set it down on the new supports. So foot traffic should resume soon.
Yep, the walnut collectors are in my driveway. But I don't care. They can have all the walnuts that they can gather.Are they on YOUR property there?

TBH it would be nice if people asked before running into your yard but if they are just going to rot personally I think it’s better if somebody takes them.
My neighbour for example has an apple tree, every year all of the apples just fall off and rot away, they never take any off and it then becomes a rats holiday home. Would be better if they they took some down and gave them away to neighbours.
We used to have a plum and a greengage tree and every summer my wife would take the fruit and give it away to my neighbours.

I'm guilty of letting fruit fall to the ground as well. But in my case I have a cleanup crew. When there's pears on the ground coyotes show up to eat them. Sometimes the whole pack will show up at once for a family meal. The pears aren't very good so we don't eat them.

It's got to be someone's and they know it's not theirs..
No fence and no posted signs, and I don't care if people are in the end of the driveway which is something that happens most clear days. They stop by to look at the huge walnut tree and other sights. However, when they pick blackberries or collect walnuts I become aware of their rudeness. I will silently judge them for their actions, but still not care that they are there. I don't get concerned unless they progress into the next camera which notifies me of an intruder.
I don't have a fence but the property is surrounded with thick blackberry bushes, and there's only a couple of places that a person might be able to get in if they don't mind fighting the thorny bushes. All of the intruders that I've seen over the years have come up the driveway, except for one. I call him Bush Man. I saw him emerge from thick brush in the field behind my house. I confronted him in my front yard, but he dove into the blackberries and scurried away on his hands and knees.

I wouldn't mind them taking the nuts either, at least they don't go to waste and they are not harming my property.
