Rousted Again!
So here The Crew was, minding our own business at Merritts Landing--nothing illegal here. Enjoying the river, the shade, and the slight breeze--nothing illegal here. Reading a little, writing a little, straightening the Nomad a little--ditto. It was about 8:15pm, still at least 45 minutes away from sunset (meaning when the sun disappears beyond the horizon)--ditto. And we are rousted by the Yolo County Sheriff's. Officer Keister on the driver's side, another unknown officer on the other--hands on still-holstered guns. They just wanted to see if Jude was doing anything "illegal" (Does she even know how to do anything illegal?) AND to inform us that the sunset was coming in about an hour (like we were stupid). AND to intimidate us for being there in a perfectly legal place.
We held our ground--Jude even pushed the envelope by letting them know the harsh feelings she had about them trying to roust us AND we stayed until sunset--the legal quitting time.
Merritts is the closest place we have to get somewhat away from city life, and we are not about to give it up. One day we may move away, but for now we're willing to do battle with the Yolo County Sheriffs for our rights.
