A converted school bus that was parked on public land north of Phillips Reservoir for several months has been removed.
Stephen Betts, a Forest Service law enforcement officer, was involved in the investigation, said Amy Franklin, public affairs officer for the agency, said in late May.
The bus was 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.
