Welcome to the conversation. Contribute at will.
Yes, we were probably bunk-mates on 'the farm' across from CLW before the school was built. It consisted of three separate houses, a geodesic sauna, an herb processing shed, a vineyard in back of the third house, and at one time, a tepee belonging to Rocky and Diane Cowie.
The houses went through a revolving clientele from all girls, to married couples, to all guys. The 'lawn' in front of the first house consisted of edible weeds, so salads were simple--run the push-mover down a row, rake it up, throw it in a salad bowl, add dressing, and dig in.
The guys in the back house (myself included) were recruited oftentimes to go herb-gathering for the business Rocky had begun, but was also managed for a time by Damon Davis. The times were simple and the fellowship good. I don't know about any toilet-less poop hole, but often wonder about how we managed to operate many of life's more simple logistics given the age of the houses. My stay there was from the fall of 1977 until the summer of 1978 when I relocated to Shiloh and the sawmill.
