Long Ago, in the mid-1970's ...
60s music celebrity Loretta Traveler rented her vintage country estate to a group of ex-hippies, none of whom she even bothered to meet.
See how that worked out for everyone in this cynical but humerous survivor's account of how Loretta's mansion become infamous as Death Cabin.
The former high-school friends had survived the 1960s and then reunited by an opportunity to party through the slow, insipid demise of Woodstock Nation in the comfort of the heated, in-ground pool.
Would they adapt to the greed and inhumanity of an emerging, materialistic society as New Age Yuppies? Or would they just end up killing each other?
By what devil's gravity did they hold down the lease despite all the complaints, accusations and conflicts with their ultra-conservative neighbors?
And, above all:
Why did Loretta rent the place to a bunch of slackers to begin with?
OK, Boomer!
The stories you love to tell us about the 1960's seem at odds with the old newspapers we found in your attic. We also wish The Summer of Love had changed America. Instead, it was illegal warfare, criminal Presidents, random murders and drugs that outlasted the 60's. One of your newspapers describes Death Cabin as a part of the Hippy legacy. Do you know what happened there or do we have to buy the book to find out?
