Forest Service law enforcement is trying to find the owner of a converted school bus that has been parked on public land north of Phillips Reservoir for several months.
Stephen Betts, a Forest Service law enforcement officer, is involved in the investigation, said Amy Franklin, public affairs officer for the agency.
The bus is in a dispersed campsite beside the gravel road leading to Social Security Point, a popular fishing and boating site on the north side of the reservoir about 19 miles southwest of Baker City.
The Forest Service limits campers to 14 days in any location.
