Caltrans decided to evict a homeless camp from underneath a couple of bridges here in town. They gave them a few days to get their stuff together. I visited a couple times before the eviction, which happened yesterday. Seems pretty pointless, they all just headed further along the river to camp, everyone knows it’s a matter of time until they head back. It’s rainy.
