I wanted to go for a walk on the Wild Cat Trail today. However, when I got there I found a Highland's Ranch representative guarding the gate onto the trail.



Please bear in mind that it was 90 degrees today and the gentlemen in the photo was sitting in his truck with no shade. Turns out he is an employee of Highlands Ranch (ie this guard service is costing Highlands Ranch citizens money) and he was there for 2 hours, to hand over to a replacement at the end of his shift.



He told me that unless I was a Highlands Ranch resident, I could not enter and then got out his truck to point out the no trespass sign.

I asked him what he would do if I walked onto the trail and he told me he would "call the cops".



This is CRAZY!
