I discovered broken desire lines near an Industrial site south of downtown, just beyond the end of a bike trail. Some lines were more defined than others as a stumbled through bushes, rocks, giant tires, plastic bottles, shopping carts, books, clothes, and bedding. The area looked like a dump site most likely from illegal immigrants. I wondered what exactly their situation was for them to need to completely abandon their goods at this particular location. I wondered if they had to live and sleep in this area, in hiding or maybe because they just had nowhere else to go. There weren't many bags of things area, but everything was sprawled out as even they had all been emptied out of backpacks. Was this drop off point forced or personal choices? I saw documents dating as far back as 2005 and I wondered if there had been items put them earlier or more recently.
