Neighbors... introduce or hermit?

Heheh, cheers...

Usually, the neighbors aren't wanting to go beyond the "Hi, how are ys.." but sometimes they are...

I'll respond with like responses after initiating an Howdy... but that's about it, as far as it goes...

We are polite and friendly but basically stay to ourselves. We camp to get away and reconnect with each other. We stay home to connect with family and friends.

I have always introduced us to new neighbors be it us setting up or new folks coming in setting up next to us.

Doesn't take much to 'read' the other folks and decide whether or not continued conversations/interactions will be worth while.

VERY rare occasions that is wasn't worth while.

Still in touch with several couples that we meet during our FT travels.

Campground?

even when we stayed at La Pine State Park near you we tried to pick a spot with no one on either side

Neighbors?? :h

You must mean the Coyotes. They only talk late at night, around my neighborhood. My guess is you need to pick a neighborhood that best has neighbors that you like. Which is what I do, in picking none.

Funny. I was a LEO for 26 years. While in uniform I walked up and talked to everybody. Just accepted because I was in uniform. It is hard to change. Now being retired I just walk up and talk to strangers. Some accept it. Others really don't know how to accept it. Who is ths crazy old guy who thinks he can just talk to anybody. :B A dear friend said it helps with a dog. If you are walking your dog you are no longer dangerous to a stranger. Another old guy told me you don't even need a dog. Just carry a pocket full of dog biscuits. You can talk to anyone carrying dog biscuits. Just ask the owner if you can feed his dog. Now you can start a consersation with anyone. :B

I usually don't have "neighbors" as we camp in NF's. However, if we have an animal hanging or a "neighbor" has one hanging we tend to converse. Have yet to ever stay in an RV park.

On the other hand, if I see someone needing help I'll offer a hand no problem. I've helped a few folks over the years get unstuck in some not so nice places. I kind of hope I'll be repaid in kind should I find myself needing help.

True that. Love to hear 'em howl on a still night!
