As most of you know, my employment is as an EMT/Security Guard.... I was working this weekend and in one of the vehicles...
I was driving down the public road that borders our property, after a few off-site errands (Fuel, Dinner, Pickups at other buildings). As I apprached the campus, I had to stop and direct a person away from one of our "locked" gates to the main gate she could get in. I pulled out behind her, and am cruising along at 35-40 mph (Wide, twisty, turny road, below the posted speed limit of 45) and it is early in the evening, before sundown. I come around a curve and pass an old construction / emergency trail entrance, and there is this OLD VW Beatle there... like 1960's-1970's.... I didn't see it until I was past it, so I turn around and come back, thinking someone is using the (Questionable private property) running trail, or I've got a vehicle abandoned in front of an emergency access gate... Bad thing.
I come back, call my base on my phone (rather than try to explain it over the radio) and let my boss know the plate of the car, and where I am.... As I do this, a couple (Male + Female ) comes out of the woods and I ask if there is a problem. They are both in their mid 20's to early 30's, and look somewhat like "wannabe hippies" He is barechested, she has a blanket uder her arm.
I ask if everything is alright... They say "yes." I give them the "this is priviate property" spiel, he says he runs on the trail all the time, and has never had a problem. I ask if that was what they were doing (as they came out of a heavily wooded area, through foot-tall grass). I was told "We were back by the creek, watching the fish." They got in their car, I wished them a nice day, they left, I left.
I told my boss. He nearly fell out of his chair..... Somehow neither he nor I thought their ummm, 'adventures' involved aquatic life at all.......
