This is a question about hobo camps, homesteaders, bums, whatever you want to use to describe them.
I know there are parks people monitoring this site. I've probably found a dozen of these areas over the past year. I can't just pick a spot to camp where I want, yet these people hold down a spot for a long time. Although I've never truly felt threatened, I don't think it's good park policy to allow it. Do they want to know, and how do I report it? |

I call the local police on the non-911 line, if I can find the number. If you don't think they're that much of a threat, look at what happened with the 3rd Ave. bridge yesterday--apparantly, it was some of those less fortunate folk that broke the lock and got into the tunnels under Minneapolis. I've seen the camps, but I haven't come across any of the people--I guess they can be really territorial, and might not be all that mentally stable. _________________ There comes a time in every young boy's life when he gets an irresistible urge to seek buried treasure.--Mark Twain |

LOL. Yet another example of why there should be a minimum find count before you can hide a cache. I won't even get into the fact that his profile is full of commercial information. |

The container apparently had holes that they tried to "waterproof" with scotch tape. |
