[snip]: I've been unsuccessful in finding out information about US communes or intentional communities to visit, apart from the strollerist twin oaks which might be a bit nasty if everyone was walking around prolestysing about Trotsky.
I think you'll like this one. It's called The Farm and was started by a bunch of hippies 30 years ago. It's one of the few hippy-inspired communes still around. You can find out more at The Farm Website.

: 'Jail-Bait', no doubt, that's a pain in the ass isnt it? (hey it could become an actual pain the ass if you get imprisoned and sodomised by some big inmate).
Forget the inmates -- it's their parents you have to watch out for!
: :Israeli women can be painfully beautiful.
: Your telling me, I've always sympathised with Antonio in Shakesphere's 'Merchant of Venice', you know he falls in love with the Jewish girl? I think the actual israeli's have skin tone and all going for them aswell but the regular ones have that nice nose and all anyway.
Yeah, it's the olive skin and long curly dark hair. *sigh*

: :army trucks are a good way to grab a free ride, albeit with very uncomfortable wooden seats.
: Are you serious man? With the soldiers? Do you have to be an isreali?
Nope, just a hitchhiker (although I suppose it helps not to be wearing an arab head-dress).
: : What else? Don't forget to take a dip in the Dead Sea -- it's so salty, you float on top with no effort at all - in fact, going under is a chore, but you wouldn't want to do that anyway. Climb Masada and spend a night under the stars for a really groovy time.
: The Dead Sea, where you can walk on water like JC.
You reminded me of what I left out. I went skinny-dipping with the other volunteers in the Sea of Galilee, which is up north and nearby a small, friendly Druse Arab town. Of course everyone tried the JC trick and attempted to walk on the water -- as far as I can recall, only I managed to pull it off :)
