Wow!  Good thing I would be filthy rich, else who could afford  the lawyers 
and tax experts?
 
Thank you for the insight. It seems mighty audacious that people have taken  
it upon themselves to build or change things on other people's land without  
expressed permission. Or to figure they had unlimited access.
 
It would be interesting to know what the Gulf Wars contract looks  like.  
 
I heard that the owner has given permission for some permanent structures  to 
be built by the SCA but that it must be understood that the buildings or  
gates will be available for others to use throughout the year. He was  mighty 
unhappy with certain types of walls put up. The chintzy  style did not fit in 
with his ideas for the overall scheme.

owner...

Garbage disposal - Utility payments - Upkeep -  Storage, etc......

Very few people have the same  definition of different terms and those  
definitions change with  experience...also if something is not written  down...both 
parties have  to rely on their memories...and that never  works...

Also, people are territorial...if their guests start encroaching on the   
owner's hospitality...and the owner's don't realize it and don't   immediately 
deal with it...
it leads to long term problems and  strife...also land owners tend to  get to 
the point that they use the  groups use of the land as a  bargaining tool 
with other group  activities...it really sucks...

If you build a facility  like you are speaking of...you need to double  check 
state and federal  law in regard to such things...even if you  donate the use 
of  it...
also...you will need special insurance...and figure out your  tax load...
recreational areas have much different taxes and  regulations than farm 
land...

That's just a  start...
