ELLSWORTH — Most of the time, she sleeps in Walmart parking lots. Or she’ll talk strangers into letting her park the hand-painted, rusting truck she lives in on their property so she can sleep for the night without worrying about someone asking her to leave.
The 1997 Chevrolet C/K 1500 has logged 300,000 miles. The vehicle gets repainted regularly, often with a fake wood paneling aesthetic, but the same words are always spray painted on the side: “Poor White Trash.” On the hood and along the back bumper, balls of dried paint stick to the top of the car like clumps of tape left behind by a carpenter.
