I haven't seen any Austrailians WANDERING in here. I was WONDERING though, where would they WANDER while we were WONDERING?

I was around in true hippie days, when the free love movement started out of the anti-Vietnam war movement. I lived in the States then, but in Canada now. If the U.S. still had a draft, you can bet your hippie ass that there would be a powerful anti-war movement and a whole new hippie generation would arise. \nThen later it seemed to be related to smoking pot. Only a few anti-establishment types did that once. Now so many do it, it's not the same.\nHippies also lived in communes and worked the land. Nowadays they're known as poor farmers.\nI see a lot of young artists today who seem to embody the qualities of hippies. Difference is, now they're more educated and focussed and want a piece of the pie. \nLil bit of hippie history for you. I guess I'm a hippie in my soul. Too many responsiblities to be a true hippie.  Still think I'd like to live on love and oranges, but it's not practical.

"You're from the sixties.\n\nWell, yes.\n\nBack, back with you!  There is no place for you here"\n\n\nThe era associated with the sixties essentially ended when the Vietnam War ended and the hippies became yuppies.

Hippies totally rock.  Being from San Francisco just made it that much better.  And check this out... Tyler actually has made a movie about his Japan experience.  Very cool.\nhttp://www.kintarowalksjapan.com/

Simple, it's the hippie's fault.  Dammit!\n\nIt boils down to the "all about me" syndrome

Is there anyone in the group that you can trust? I would try to talk to one of them to see if they can tell you what went on, if anything. That's pretty freaky-no more pot or outings...

Well for starters most okies during the dust bowl headed west to California. Where they were given the name okies. Side fact: the word okie back then was almost kinda like the N word today. If you want a good way to map this I would map it closely to the current day Route 66. That goes to california and was probably the closest to the route they used. Most people left in trucks or even tractors with sides and rails built on the back. Many times there wer people leaving by trucks with cattle or horses tied to the back to bring them along. (they couldnt go fast enough to harm the animals) Many of the poorest people left in almost a type of wagon pulled by horses or oxen, or they left by horseback. Many people left by groups. Not just one family but several families together. They had problems like the dust storms would become so thick they could not see to travel. And would have to stop and wait or some continued on and became lost. Others that waited out the storms would often have to dig their transportation of of the dirt when the storm was over. The dust storms of back then blew away most of the soil and the crops. People had very little to eat. People died from lack of food to bad water. Insects where everywhere during this time. Many people found it very hard to travel simply because they ran into swarms of grasshoppers or locust that had had come to eat whatever was left. Or they simply just had problems pushing through the dirt in which in many places people have said was pilled up in difts just like snow would. Sometimes 10 feet high. Plus when they got to California finally they were met with the local people hating them. The people thought the okies where dirty and nasty. And most people didnt find the jobs they had thought would be there when they got to California. Instead many times towns had signs that read "Go away Okies! There are no jobs for you here!" Many people ended up living in what they called "Okie camps" they were normally on the outskirts of towns and many of the people that had came up from the dust bowl region ended up in these. They were just collections of all these people that had came to California to find there was nothing for them. No jobs, no homes, nothing. And they were forced to live togther in tents and make shift shelters till they found work. Sometimes local people would come by and give them food, water and occasionaly an odd job or two. Many people who left during the dust bowl eventually returned when the dust storms ended because their situations in the new places really were not any better than what they had left behind. But not everyone left Oklahoma/Kansas during the dustbowl. It was the worst in western and nothern Oklahoma and up into parts of south western Kansas. My family stayed through it all. If you want to see what this was like I suggest renting the movie The Grapes of Wrath. It's old and it's in black and white but you will see what it was like and it's about going from oklahoma to california during the dust bowl. Hope this helped.

Settle?  Do you mean move to after the war?  \nThey went back home, found a job, found a school where ever those places were.

I've asked that question, and don't get a decent answer.  Funny how they all disappeared after Bush was supposedly elected isn't it?  Just like the energy crisis disapeared in California.

They escaped to Cherry Hill, outer suburbs like Kennett Square, and Wilmington.\n\nThey turned into suburbanites.  Sorry.

Probably Neanderthals. Afterwards, most people just wanderered through from somewhere else.
