Amen to that.
Last trip to the boondocks I set up my trailer, part of which is to hoist the flagpole with an all weather american flag and an army flag below it.
Flagpole is lighted with a solar/battery powered light mounted on it's top.
I was all alone for the first night and the second day a few other campers in tents moved in nearby. Following morning they told me that the light on my flagpole "bothered them" during the night.
Here I was, camped out in the middle of at least 20,000 acres of vacant land with hundreds of other great tent spots, and they chose to set up their tents next to my trailer.
Told them to just sleep with their faces pointing away from the bothersome light. (insert "freeway driving finger" emoticon here)
Never did understand what compelled them to camp so close when the entire area was about a mile wide and three miles long with all kinds of nice flat, sandy, spots for a tent. Maybe they're from the "big city" and being isolated makes them insecure.
