I'm probably just dreaming. Out here drones would probably be shot out of the sky if it was to dare cross someone else's property. People do not take kindly to trespassing of any sort. But spying is part of being aware. My family across from me has a telescope in an upper window and I have my binoculars and we keep an eye each other and on everything around us...it's just what you have to do out here. And as long as you have each other's permission, it's ok. :)
That was a funny story about Thorn. That would scare me too if someone just came up out of the water from seemingly nowhere. lol
