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...
