Dave - a friend of mine encountered a hippy colony high in the Blue Ridge Mountains The hippies were recluse from St John University. They stayed there from March to May surviving the cold weather in tents of plastic + blankets. During the day they read Plato out loud. At night they screwed. When we went to find them we had learned that they departed for the hollowed bullshit of St Johns. They left behind a wooden road marker in many painted bright colors, the plastic covering of their tents, and a bucket which we used to get water from the stream near the spot where we stayed. Kit
