I would guess that the original post was not one of pompousness but one of anger and, possibly, a call to action. By naming the officers that both did their job commendably and shamefully he has done nothing more than what any one of us would have done if we received shoddy service at a tackle shop.

Andy's comment about taking 30 minutes of the officers day off was silly. If he would have done his job they way he was supposed to on the day the incident happened then he wouldn't have had to take the time to do it several days later on his time off. That's common sense.

Many times easements are donated for free by the landowner, but considering the attitude displayed by the owner I would imagine that he probably is getting money for it if not at least a large tax write-off.

A letter needs to be sent to the landowner asking him why he is refusing access to this easement. Maybe it is due to our all-too-common slobbery on the property, or maybe he's got a case of cranial rectitis.

If it turns out that the land owner is doing it to be a pee-are-eye-see-kay, then it might be necessary to have a fishing trip scheduled up there by a bunch of us to highlight the problem. A dozen people's voices are heard much easier than just one.

Count me in if this happens.
