Don’t forget the cameras in the sky!! Google balloons etc that can see a soccer ball from where they are 50000 ft up. Military flights equipped with cameras and listening devices criss cross the sky hundreds of times daily. Recording everything. The consolation is that in very rural areas there may likely be fewer of them. 😞

I once worked at a machine shop with a guy that did some time in prison. In the lunchroom sometimes the discussion would come around to well I’ve never done anything wrong, so I don’t care if there are cameras. The former prisoner had a saying that is oh so true.

[@lindaberl3712]

Those non-mooring piers were probably built as river view platforms or for fishermen. Our town has one that they don’t allow boats to tie up to. I agree with you, if it is a public platform, it should be made available to boaters as well.

[@johnensink1514]

That was a fishing platform, and it was also set up for handicapped access. Now how would you like it if you went there to fish but couldn’t because there were boats in the way.

Winter is good as all of the Tourons (as they are fondly known) go back home. With your mad driving skills, you’ll have no problems. It does get mighty muddy on hikes and stuff. It can flood, but that’s alway a fun adventure. I’ve had my heart set on South Carolinee for quite some time. A warmer climate is way overdo. Some Southern hospitality and good sense would be super appreciated at this stage in “the game”. Big hugs to you and Wavey from me and the kitties.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Can I ask what got you out in Oregon Eva? I've spent time in Oregon myself (and Seattle) if you're trying to get out of the rain, the coastal Carolinas will be just as bad unfortunately:( and humid. It's hard to find a warm place in America that isn't people piled up like cordwood. That's why I put up with cold when I have to, keeps the hordes out. I'm thinking about coastal Maine

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

This is a nice part of Florida. It becomes apparent (slowly, like 5 MPH) that Florida off the coasts is completely different. It becomes "The South" other than along the water, where it's still million dollar estates. We found an abandoned place today right on the river. Probably annexed by the county park, old Florida place. Of course I won't be showing THAT footage;)

People use it to view the river, wave at boats going by, and in some cases fishing with their kids.

[@curtshelp6170]

Fishermen are in charge and that's probably designated a fishing dock

[@noyopacific]

Thanks for the video Brenton ! The point of installing the pier at 0:25 is probably not, as you said: "so people can't use it." Since you didn't provide closer views I can only speculate (as you have also done.) While the pier does not seem to be intended to provide access for boaters it may be there to provide access to the waterfront from the shore. It may be there for pedestrians to enjoy the view, take photos, cast a fishing line and/or have a picnic over the water. They are the people that have probably paid a fee to use the park. The pier is likely for their use and enjoyment. (I guess It is not intended for the benefit of freeloaders on houseboats and yachts. 😜) Allowing mooring at this pier does not seem to be consistent with the intended purpose. Moored boats could fill up the most desirable section of the pier and restrict full access and enjoyment by those who might want to use it for fishing as well as those who want to enjoy the view of the waterway. While you might argue that no one was using it, however; the more conditions, exceptions and qualifications there are on use the more difficult it becomes to manage and enforce. He who pays the piper usually gets to call the tune.

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter;)

The state or local counties and cities have plenty of fishing piers along the waterways. They are also handicapped accessible. It's great for those who don't have boats and depend on fishing to provide protein in their diets that they don't have to pay inflation prices for at a supermarket.
