Ok Mark. I figured that was the case. I can get the trespassing part just fine,the other is another one of those touchy gray areas. But still,pretty screwed up.

Concerning trespassing and freedom: I did a job for a man who lives on a 200 acre farm. The James River runs right thru the dead center of his farm. This is a fairly large river,but nothing that has any sort of 'traffic'. Basically,if you are traveling down this river you are out for leisure,not business. Anyway,there is a bend in the river on his property that creates a sort of a beach area. People tend to anchor their boats there and throw parties. Sometimes they get loud and keep at it til the wee hours. Since these people are on the water,and not his 'land',he cannot do anything about them being there. The County told him that he does not own the water,just the land under it and on both sides. The River is public property and Botetourt County has no curfews. They are not considered to be trespassing and they cannot be asked to leave. How screwed up is that?!
