[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3993294, member: 7900"] Not really a funny story, but sad in a way. When we were living and working for that 17 months in Oregon, we had an occasion where some fellow was being chased by someone else (in cars) and drove onto the property of the retreat and reunion center where we were on-site managers. When the "chaser" told me that the "chasee" had gone up one of the roads towards one of our lodges, I had the wife and her helpers to lock themselves into a building at one of the decks. I then called the Sheriff's office and reported the "break-in." One of two cars with single officer occupants arrived and went up the BLM road to check on the "chasee's" car. Come to find out, the "chasee" had abandoned his vehicle after he hit a spot where logs kept him from going further. I went back down to the property "center" and there were two more Sheriff's cars parked near the others. In talking to those two men, I found out one of them was the undersheriff, and he reported to me that we had the county's entire on duty force on our property. In other words, 4 men per shift was what they had to work with. It goes to show the detrimental situation that can come about when a state doesn't do much in the way of taxes. That county is Josephine County in Oregon with Grants Pass as the county seat. It has 1,642 square miles and a population of a little over 88,000 people. [/QUOTE]
