Default Exact location of the Irish Travellers?

Does anyone know the exact location of the trailer park that the Irish Travellers live in?

Thanks Smtchll.

Smoky - I'm just curious. I started working in retail and I see them come in and they always give a fake address.

Has anyone ever driven through the park? Do they get violent towards outsiders?

I've driven through it. No they don't get violent, but every time I've gone through, when I first get there, no one is out, but after a little while, it seems like everyone is out in their SUVs driving around aimlessly. It's like they call everyone to come outside when they see a stranger. It seriously gets as crowded as Downtown, haha. Maybe they just do it for fun, I dunno, but sometimes it felt like we were gonna be blocked in. Nothing has ever happened though. And the whole trailer park isn't Irish Travellers, there's a Hispanic side, it's a small part. So I don't think they care if non-Travellers are in the trailer park.

The thing is, they are travelers...persons who change locations. Therefore, their exact location is not constant.

It's actually pretty constant. They have been there for years. Some move, then others replace them. I saw a lot of Iowa liscense plates. I know people that went to school with travellers and they say that some never move

Those are not travelers. Those are residents. Travelers are persons who change locations.
