MOVING DAY arrived for residents of Loyalton’s Mobilehome Estates. A chartered bus arrived before 10 a.m. Passengers were not allowed any pets and room was limited for belongings.
Most people were cooperating and the park was busy with packing a variety of vehicles. According to Security, utilities were in the process of being turned off. Any who didn’t leave would forfeit any relocation benefits.
Belongings were hauled to the front of the park where some were picked up by friends and relatives.
Lisa Melton carried two dogs on her lap and was followed by two more as she struggled to wheel herself to the front of the park in her wheelchair. An emotional scene ensured when Lisa couldn’t leave her beloved pets and refused to get on the bus without them, despite urging by her sister.
In yet another scene, Kevin Pagal towed a truck towing a fifth wheel down the street to Sierra Pacific Industries’ property, followed by Sheriff’s Detective Mike Fisher.
By shortly before noon, Security wandered in what appeared an empty court.
