Hello from sunny southern California. We are a small Collective of folks taking care of the earth, living part-time on an organic farm in a coastal valley...and part-time indigenous in the mountains on beautiful native land surrounded by the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Our farm has over 30 types of fruits like: avocados, figs, mulberries, carob, grapefruit, persimmon, oranges, apple, plum, jujube, blood orange, loquat, Indian fig, Indian apple, Catalina native cherry, pummelo, che, prune, pineapple-guava, sapote, guava, Asian pear, lemon, apricot, peach, macadamia nut, etc.... At our mountain camp in the California desert we are covering a tipi that sits between 2 waterfalls near a deep pool...and farther down the stream there are awesome Indian caves that we sleep in underneath giant granite boulders next to an even deeper pool, with barrel cactus on the hillsides. There are more American Indian legends connected with our mountain canyon than any other place in California except Yosemite. To us this is the way to live life, balancing the agrarian with the primitive, and we honor native cultures and believe in a natural foods diet. We are interested in connecting with young folks in Canada who share similar interests. This year has been exceptionally wet, so will be incredible in the mountains.

That's incredible. It sounds like you guys are living my dream life. I've heard so many cool things about California and the hippie days over there. Right on!
~~~Thank you all for your kind responses. It is now over 110 degrees in the desert and the snow is melting on the high peaks. So our mountain canyon is roaring with water. Time to join with the forces of Nature and and the solar energy......... ~~~~~~Peace be to all you Canadian hikers~~~~~~~
