“I feel about as good as I ever have in my life,“ David Lidstone 81, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, saying he has many friends. He was jailed on July 15 on a civil contempt sanction and was told he’d be released if he agreed to leave the cabin. The property owner, 86-year-old Leonard Giles, wanted Lidstone off the property. Lidstone had said a prior owner gave his word years ago that he could live there, but had nothing in writing. There have been at least 20 offers for him to relocate to another plot of land, from California to Maine.
