Thanks for the warning Alan. Coos seemed relatively benign compared to some
other counties we've surveyed, but it probably has to do with having been
in the mountains the majority of my time there. I've been forced off of
public roads a few times in eastern Oregon now. I think overall its an
enlightening experience.

Coos county is/can be a scary place, and I suspect like most people who
live in this county, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Pretty sure
as with any road int he county there is the obligatory easement. Hell... my
driveway has an easement on one side. Went toe to toe with a guy regarding
the boundaries of his property and my mom's. Finally sent him a certified
letter, explaining that the county clerk in charge of such things was
waiting to speak with him. He's given up his posturing. I know there are
roads where they threatened(fortunately signed) to shoot trespassers on
sight), and I try to stay away from them.

Joni and I encountered an angry landowner on Upper Fourmile Rd off 101
while doing bird surveys in southern Coos County on Sunday morning. He
asserted that because there is no public right of way or easement along
that county road, it is impossible to pull off on the gravel shoulder
without trespassing, thus we needed to get out of the area.
I have no idea if what he said is true, but he obviously intends to treat
anyone pulled off the road as a trespasser.
Fortunately one other team was up above us and he didn’t notice them til
they were driving out.
