So I live near Mile Marker/Exit 170 on I-81 in PA. I was wondering if anybody has ever came through Wilkes Barre and looked around for a place to squat.

NOW: Here's what's around me
Woods
CASINO
Gas Stations
Hospital
A club/resort
Woods
Woods
Aaaaaaaaand woods.

All you need to survive xD

Now, what I wanna know: Is it worth my time and effort to build a cabin/tree house for people to stay in? I can get the lumber myself. I'm also thinking of putting locks on the place...

whats the situation with the locals? how about resources? fresh water and food?
it sounds pretty remote which means it could be a whole lot of fun, as well as a whole lot of work (which is also fun).

There used to be a place behind the recycling center next to 81 (Allen Bros. I think), but it got torn down years ago. So I'd stay away from that end (the WB Twp. area) and stay up near Bear Creek or something. Everywhere has a pretty decent amount of foot traffic in the summer around here though, and all the places with minimal hikers/walkers/bikers are frequented by ATV riders. I dunno man, if you find a decent spot I'd say go for it. It might be right on the thin line between remote and not remote enough so close to the city.

Yeah, that's where I am, Bear Creek area. :D

Its semi-remote. I have access to running water at this place I'm housed up in. The locals I don't know too much about, but I haven't seen anybody flying a sign at the casino exits yet. Just remember: This is PA. You're not "allowed" to spange. ,,|,, that. I know a ton of spots that are near the quad riders and shit that they don't know about. If you meet up with some of them, I bet you they'd share a beer or two with you though. They're from a trailer park :p And also, I lived in this area before I became homeless, so I know alot of people here and I know the woods like the back of my hand

maybe if it wasn't just under half a million dollars. according to my records it's still for sale and it's been on the market for 182 days so far. $489,000

I just looked to see where the fuck that is. I'm by the casino, that's closer to Hanover o_O
But I'll look into it
