**Use your odometer** (for the 3.6 miles on 17N08), as the driveway on the right is not usually easily noticed, except for a yellow smiley face sign on a tree at the driveway entrance.
*Go through the yellow security gate (it will be open) and to the bridge or, if you have 4WD, easy to ford the creek (most of the year). Our driveway is a little bumpy(compared to the forestry road in, but all vehicles go up just fine. We have a Honda Fit (sub-compact, low clearance) that does it easy.
This is a community, they offer inexpensive housing to low income people. Everyone was super sweet and welcoming.
Striving to live in the middle of a car-centric city with a view to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of every action.
Fun for a visit. A little gem of really nice folks who believe something strongly and have the actual gumption to follow through on it.
The place is lovely but as far as intentional communities go there are more better examples out there. There are beautiful communities which don´t live in big houses on city blocks and it is free for everyone to learn and participate.
Great place filled with amazing people from all walks of life. Helpful is every way possible. Great vibes
