[Trigger Hippie]

When I heard about them, I was on a cross country road trip stopping in central Oregon. They were having a vernal equinox celebration at a local campground. At the time, I was quite the little hippy and wanted to hang out and see what the deal was. The group seemed to be divided into two parts, old-school hippies who were actually in the '60s and still seemed to follow the old "peace love" routine, and young, college age ones who just wanted to bum around. I got a bad feeling from the young ones. I turned out to be right because that night they stole all the gas out of my van. It was snowing and my then-boyfriend and I could have easily been stranded in the mountains for god knows how long. But we managed to get to a snobby ski resort where we could buy gas and were saved. To this day, I still hold a grudge to these people, one of whose main tenet is "share and share alike". Not fucking steal and steal alike. Just to let you know it's not just me, a friend of mine got her bag stolen at one of these gatherings twice.
