Officials want makeshift shacks taken down along Great Western Trail
Carol Stream, IL -
Residents living near a portion of the Great Western Trail in Carol Stream are asking DuPage County to help clean up the trail after discovering makeshift shelters built just 25 feet off the trail path that are believed to be used by transients or by teenagers for illegal activities..

The structures were discovered by Mike Clancy, a resident along the 100 block of Lenox Court, who said he originally saw them on New Year’s Day when he was sledding with his son in the backyard. At the time, he said he saw people who looked “homeless” living in one of the shacks.

“At first, I didn’t think too much about it,” Clancy said. “I asked my wife: Should we call police? Should we feed him? We were a bit unsure on what to do.”
Come on, it's just some kids building clubhouses!

Meh. The forts we use to build in what is now trendily reffered to as "Ackerman Woods" and the long gone wooded area on the north-west corner of ackerman were MUCH better.
Kids today have no good rudimentary engineering skills.
