Any theories?
Day 21
Old soda cans hanging from an electric fence
April 16th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
1) make the fence more visible to fast-moving traffic
2) something inside the cans rattles to scare livestock away from the fence
Warning to other soda cans to not come near this property?
people that hung the soda cans wanted to see the electric shock go off they were actually playing chickie with the fence??? hows that Matt ???
I think it is along the lines of what Jason suggests in #2 … but maybe to deter deer.
Maybe they’re really beer cans. Get the deer drunk, catch them, and then enjoy venison stew!
Farmers use to pee in them as a contest to see who would last the longest…??
Actually, you may have crossed a beer migration path and some of them just got caught in the fence.
Hilarious!
Matt,
Some people in the NC mtns. use that method to keep deer out of their gardens.
I’ll buy that. Thanks guys!
Maybe its the Southern Tier NY in me speaking, but I immediately thought about shooting.
I’d shoot at ’em.
That fence has nothing on Coco’s fence (Baja, Mexico) http://scorpiovi.smugmug.com/photos/729311408_S3ixT-L.jpg
That truck in the pic is awesome.
What kind of truck is it ?
‘Fence Flags’ used to make the fence more visible to livestock so they don’t get hung up in the wire.
Or local drunks proudly showing off their handiwork.
Maybe a bit of both.
The guy’s peeing on the fence dropped them???
Rural PA gang sign……they could not find a dumb white guy walking through the ‘hood so they could steal his tennis shoes……go with what you got.
This guy heard about “Jolt Cola” and wanted to try some.
