That not silly. I knew a number of people who used to live there.

That's pretty cool. I don't know anyone but still feel an odd connection when I look at some of the photos and vids from there. Had a few buses and dreads myself years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if I had crossed paths with some of them over the years while out on the road. Anyways it's on my list maybe this summer. There is one photo I came across a while ago from there two old buses but one was like 40' 50's vintage. I was looking for Ken Kesey somewhere in it:)

The closest I’ve come is many rainbow gatherings. The thing I find with communal living like that is that a small percent of the people usually end up doing the bulk of the work. I never mind the work part, I like working, I like building shit, cooking, and gathering wood. I never liked the sense of entitlement that a lot of the others displayed when it came to enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Done plenty of gatherings as well. Ocala Florida was insane. I could go on about running naked for miles in burnt forests with amazing heat lightning but you get the point:)
