Re: Scouts May Evict Hermit

Maybe the hermit should be hired to build staff cabins of a similar nature -
sounds as though it would be cheaper than the cost of a wall tent. :-)
Reality
We don't know from the article whether the fellow is a looney-toons sort, a
squatter trying to avoid housing costs, or what. It could be that it would
be possible to create a win-win situation if he was the sort that could be
employed on the property. It could also be the situation that this would be
undesirable.
It will be interesting to see the outcome. In most states a squatter can
take possession of land by adverse possession after seven years, if the
possession during that time was open and notorious. If a court is persuaded
that this possession was obvious enough that it should have been discovered
in routine property inspections, then it is likely that the fellow will keep
his homestead. If the court is persuaded that the possession was not open;
e.g., it was underground and otherwise hidden from view to keep its
existence unknown, then this fellow will be evicted.
