Intriguing account of a hippie commune and it's people who shift from California to Alaska in 1970. Full of exploits, colour, tales of survival and life in community. It manages to find a nice balance of the highs and the lows, the pettiness, the conflicts, the smells, the joys and celebrations, the hopes and disappointments of these flawed characters. This is not an utopian rose colored glasses account, it is gritty and all too human.
