What do you suppose a tramp rendezvous was?

 

[jeff of pa]

We had one 20 Mile north of here a couple years ago.
May still be there. even though the Police Claim they put up No trespassing signs.
after one may have been murdered.
I don't remember the full story.
this one was along Interstate 81

Tramp Roosts / rendezvous

Are just Campsites that are well known to the Homeless Travelers.
Hobo Camps along Rail Roads , would also be considered Tramp rendezvous.
though I'd guess some Tramps make the Camps Home.


I see no reason to Not Believe these Tramps had, hid & even Lost money out of Distrust of each other.
