It's a real shame that a property owner has to bear the burden of spending even more money (and probably lots of time when closing up a cottage for the season) to protect his/her investment from damage by a few bad apples. It's my sense that people who use the property of others for other types of recreation -- I'm thinking particularly of hunting -- have a good record of making sure that they are welcome on the property first.

It would be nice if the snowmobilers who assume that it's OK to travel through someone's yard would realize that the burden should be on them to make sure it's OK before they do it. I'm not talking about a burden in a legal sense -- I'm talking about the burden of using common sense and exercising the same courtesy and respect for property that they would undoubtedly expect for their own property.
