The park manager called me six days before my scheduled completion, dismissed me by phone, and arrived at my RV within the hour to collect the keys and the golf cart.

They cited an offhand comment about rangers and a homeless man’s journal. They generated no paperwork. They invoked “just the conversation we had” — confirmed on camera. They displaced me from a home of nearly two months — twenty-four hours to vacate.

Next, a 31-minute containment phone call by the program manager. A permanent ban from every state park in Oregon, on agency letterhead, citing my public comments. Procedural silence from the director. A federal law enforcement agent and two state troopers at my gate on the anniversary.

And silence from the institution.
