They formed a CO-OP and got a small farm ---on Highway 101 near Lund. BC 
.-----and I did
visit a few times-----and I was impressed


  There was one I'd heard of farther East in Northern WA.  It finally 
disbanded 
a few years ago, for the most part as I understand.  I can admire the ones 
that actually "practiced what they preached" and made it work for a while.  
Semi futile but hey, at least they really did what they pushed.  
  I knew several hippies growing up.  Liked all of them that I can think of. 
Admired their lifestyle, direction in life, etc?  NO WAY!  Even as a little 
kid I thought they were nuts in a long term, grown-up sense.  Fun to 
hang out with as a way pre teen but that wasn't what responsible was 
about.
  There was one SF hippie that was quite clean, mostly just homeless 
due to a partner changing the locks and saying goodbye on their holographic 
business.  He had a nice van (it ran and was clean) ate regular food and 
didn't just "hang out."  Most of the rest were from Michigan and amounted 
to social drop-outs.  Still, a nice bunch of guys I'd like to know whatever 
happened to.
