in 1973 I hitch-hiked from Maine to California to live with Gary Snyder at Kitkitdizze. My home was a red tent under a large madrone tree with tatami and books. It didn't rain for six months.
Thanks for sharing this, Gary. Was Snyder's reply a suggestion, or an invitation? Either way, you took the opening ... and look what you made of it! In the Gulf of Maine, no less, your true someplace! Jim McCarthy
