Some of these communities still thrive to this day, and new ones still get started occasionally.</p> <p>Somewhere in the Northern end of California, not 100 miles from the border of Oregon (or 160ish kilometers for those who think in rational units), one such thriving commune is the residence of a couple hundred or so hippies, neo-pagans, punks, anarchists, neo-tribalists, and... well, to be honest, the majority of the members is some combination of two or more of those.</p> <p>Being of the alternative persuasion, these guys don't watch too much TV ...</p> http://www.lnhq.info/archives/lnh20-comics-presents/13 2012-02-11T09:49:37+00:00 2012-02-11T09:49:37+00:00 Martin Phipps Agent M was piloting her flight.thingy on approach to LNH HQ in<br/> Netropolis.
