Warning to all Rodota Trail users!!
Warning to all who use the Rodota trail to walk or ride on, there is a group out by the trail using a field across from the big white and black metal cow on Highway 12 on the south side to fly some radio controlled planes and stuff. I was walking with some friends and we came across a couple of guys flying some radio controlled planes, so we started to walk out to watch what they were doing only to be stopped and verbally attacked by both. They started yelling and screaming at us telling us to get the hell out from their field, we told them that we were only wanting to watch and they said get away this is private property and if you don’t leave I will do whatever I have to, to make you. We were totally shocked that we would be threatened with such a threat. I asked them why can’t we watch from the trail, and one of the guys said because it’s not safe and if one of the planes crashes and was to hit you; we don’t want to be responsible. So you need to leave now before I get mad and have to make you.
We also noticed a bad odor and noticed the two guys were smoking marijuana, I told them that we could call the police and let them know that they were smoking marijuana. The one guy said go ahead we have medical cards and we are on private property which allows us to do it, and if you were to try that it would be the last time you would use this trail. I then asked what are your names and was told we don’t have to give them to you and you had better get the hell away from here and we had better not ever see you around here again or you will regret it. The one guy had glasses and a bald head, they other guy was some skinny little guy with a big mouth but wasn’t the one doing most of the talking. They were driving one of those grey van type cars; I think it was Ford Transit or something like that. So watch out if you run into this group out by the trail, we are looking into who owns the property and also contacting the proper authorities’ to what is going on out there. Does anyone know who might over see these kind of activities, CHP, Sebastopol PD, Sheriff, FAA or something like that? Please advise of any agency that might over see these types of groups.
