So you're driving from Wolf Creek (the town) along Wolf Creek Road (with the actual Wolf Creek to your left) and you come to the driveway to the Nomenus Sanctuary so you slow down to turn in [to your left], and, just before you turn in, on your left, there's this wide pull-out and about 40m from the roadside is a house trailer. That's the land you mean?

If so: back around something like '94 i was at a summer Faeriestock when the occupant of that land was 86d from the Nomenus property after he was convicted in that day's Circle of having come into the house very very early in the morning, and turned on all the gas burners on the stove, but not lit any, and then gone out. Everyone in the house at that time was still asleep. Gary (one of the caretakers, who occupied a tent on the other side of the barn but was always up and about in the early mornings) was, i think, the person who reported having seen the man leave the house, as Gary was approaching but too far to hail without waking everyone, and then when Gary went into the house he found the gas burners on. The man --i forget his name, it might have been Tony but i am very unsure-- was a long-term faggot-identified associate of Nomenus but had become a little distanced due to a number of long-term "personality conflicts" or whatever, and commonly spent a lot of time on the Land especially in gatherings, having bought the adjacent property in order to be close, as i think i may recall. He was also said to have been living with HIV infection for many years and was unhesitating in his acknowledgement of substantial symptoms of dementia resulting: hence, it seemed fairly plausible when he claimed to have no memory of having turned on the gas, and people in Circle said that they considered it plausible that he could have committed the act with no conscious intent to do harm, in some state of confusion, and then forgotten it; but, they were not prepared to credit the scenario of his having accidentally brushed against the stove in passing and turned on all the gas knobs to full-on, by accident, with his hip. The fairly intense rancor among many individuals closely involved with the Land at that point gave substantial credibility to his having had either conscious or unconscious motivation to commit an impulsive act of potential violence and then let Magic decide whether or not to make it real. Banning him was highly controversial but there was eventual consensus in the Circle of that day that, whether deliberate or accidental, however it had occurred it seemed to be clearly his doing and therefore he posed a de-facto danger to the occupants and could not be allowed on the land for safety reasons. That was upheld through the duration of that Faeriestock and i don't know how it went from there on.

Anyhow it seems likely that he may have died in the time since then --he had endured a number of very severely symptomatic crises in his AIDS by then, and it's been a decade since-- which might have led to the land coming up for sale.

Another event which had happened shortly prior to the Faeriestock in which that episode occurred, was that someone stopped their vehicle on Wolf Creek Road and fired several long-gun rounds into the side of that trailer. I was told some history of this one family in particular who lived about three miles South of the Sanctuary who had historically been conducting sortof a guerilla warfare against gays in the area, for years, whom he suspected of the action. At the time, there was a general perception among the local Faerie-friendly residents that hostility to the increasingly-visible gay presence around Wolf Creek was on the rise, so, that bit of land was considered highly vulnerable to such terrorist actions and this awareness heightened the difficulty of the Circle's decision to ban its occupant from the land.

I dunno how relevant any of that decade-old information might be now, but, i offer it as background that may be better than nothing.

~~Chirp!
