9-1-1 is for any time that an immediate response is necessary. For example, if you see an abandoned car in the road blocking traffic in Dallas, the correct procedure is to call 9-1-1.

In the case of the ATVers, there is a risk of personal injury, as they are riding at high speed on narrow dirt trails where pedestrians are walking. It is all too easy for them to plow into someone.

LOL! I'm counting on the fact that rednecks *hate* seeing naked, middle-aged men! Besides, I could probably out-run them if I had to, even barefoot through the woods.

I was relieved that none of the 4 men approached within 10 feet of me. I don't know what I would have done if they had. It is possible that the fact that I was wearing a holster on a strap over my shoulder (for my Pentax W60 camera) made them think that I might be armed. After all, I had a big SLR in my hands, clearly too big for the holster under my left arm.
Hmmm...I'm seeing visions of Deliverance.
