Aptos Field Fire Hazard Update and Encampment

For my Aptos neighbors who live anywhere close to Cabrillo College and enjoy walking there dogs in the field behind Vienna Woods. Here's the latest. The sheriff's went back to this encampment and checked ID's, told them they had to leave on Saturday November 7, 2009. Note to folks that park there cars on the street. I saw the guy with the beard, curly dark hair and back pack walking along Vienna looking into each car's front seat area a few Saturday's ago. He is one of the campers and is either walking or riding a new black 10 speed.

LOCK YOUR CARS!

Halloween night some young boys were seen photographing graffiti left on a car on Vienna. They were heard yelling at a passing car not to tell. They broke a bunch of Halloween ceramic pumpkins and moved around a bunch of stuff on Danube. They ransacked a van as well and smashed pumpkins at another house. If you have kids that were out until 1:30 am I'd check there cellphones and see what kind of photo's are on them. There is a iTunes reward out for them if they are caught! NOT COOL.

Aptos Field

We played horses or rode horses back here, before the coyote brush filled in the gaps and the trees got big and bushy. There were nice open trails and low grasses growing everywhere. Colette Kamian of Kamian Way near where we use to play kick the can with the neighborhood kids. We won't let our kids play out here alone with all the drunk and mentally ill folks living out there which is a bummer.

Having neighbors like this makes your yard look good!

I took these photos a few days ago after going to the neighborhood Aptos Fire meeting. House has been vacant for over 2 decades. All clippings are tossed over the fence between our houses it is three feet deep and dry to the bone. We have a dead tree between our properties that goes over our fence. My husband trimmed a branch on that front Oak awhile ago and the home owner threaten to shoot him next time. We have two young kids and I worry that they might get hit going out of our driveway. The big yellow school bus gets pushed into the middle of the street. Public works was kind enough a few years ago to limb up the trees to make it safe for the walkers. Old classic car doesn't bother me as much as the dry dense brush wrapped around all sides of the house. You have to laugh but the neighbors are not laughing, the Smith's get to look at this everyday. I'm starting to not see it so much.
