There was a homeless guy who lived in this general spot for over 8 months. He literally pitched his tarp right on the sidewalk in front of one of Vermont's most visited attractions. The village fathers, local leaders, police and sheriffs were at a total loss how to get him to leave. They asked nicely. They begged, they pleaded. They finally took him to court. Amazing as it seems, with all the silly ordinances in Essex, there is nothing said about camping (i.e. trespassing) on public property. And so he stayed right there until a court ordered him to leave.
Seems to me that a quick trip with a pickup truck to the dump would have got the job done many months ago. As a taxpayer, I dont want to even consider the cost of village and town services (including lawyers) that this has entailed. And until a ordinance is passed, someone else can wander up and pitch a tent in the very same spot!
I thought about doing that, but had a better idea - place a cache. So there you go - one of stupidest reasons for placing a cache I've ever heard of. Hopefully the cache will last longer in this spot than the homeless fellow.
You don't have to go inside the fence to find this cache. You can if you'd like, but it might cost you depending on the day. Just make sure you place the cache back in the proper spot. I don't suggest you camp out there.
