The uncooperative neighbor/owner on the south is still being that way but Butch with his big rig maneuvering skills managed to get into the north end of the alley despite the lesser obstacles on that end.
The white homemade trailer at the south entrance to the alley was placed this way on purpose. It happens every October and April as he knows we will be needing/wanting access. And in answer to perhaps a question you might have, he does have room to move it forward, lots of room in fact.
The problem started when the city abandoned the alley. They do this so they will not have upkeep on it. The property owners have their half. So essentially the alley gets divided in half. We purchased the lot on the right of his trailer just to keep him from blocking it completely. So this is a game he has decided to play.
The north third of the alley is still owned by the city. Hey! I know this sounds stupid and believe me it really is! As you can see in the photo below there are 'humps' on each side of the alley. Butch does not like to come in that way because of those humps and the scratchy evergreen on the right in the photo. He can do it as he did yesterday but it takes forethought and skilled maneuvering to do it without damage to the motorhome.
Without the white trailer parked as it is it would be easy, peasy. This pic does not show those humps very well.
Hump on the left
Hump on the right.
So the bottom line is we are caught up in someone else's idea of "fun". Big Whoop!
