An Infinite Affinity: The Hippie Years. Journal 1970-71 (Young in the Sixties Book 5)

A journal of 1970-71, mostly in San Francisco, some in Southern Oregon on the Applegate River during the tumultuous years after the Sixties, when young people like me were taking lots of LSD, smoking dope, loving free, bumming all over, looking for spiritual enlightenment and protesting against the outrages of Vietnam, Kent State and Nixon being a general fascist asshole, trying to lock us all up for toking. Everyone was getting laid. Pure lysergic was given away free. People were learning to use words like organic, my old lady, off the pig, heavy, flashing on, downer, redneck. It was a crazy fun time. The bloom was off the Sixties. We were realizing we had to get out of the heavily-policed cities and get back to the land and nature and grow gardens, learn guitar, start wood fires in the stove, raise children and hold our nose as we tried to work within the system.

It’s my most fascinating of many journals called “Young in the Sixties.”
