In 1968, 10 idealistic, young San Francisco Bay Area academics and professionals buy 20 acres of gorgeous mountain land in the Sierra Nevada. The group never develops the land but for one of them, an easterner, this particular rectangle of western wilderness becomes the object of a life-long--life-warping--preoccuption.

Fun Read

Remarkably candid narrative of attempted group ownership of a small parcel just below Donner Pass. The maturing of owners and loss of 1960's ideals as the wilderness parcel gets crowded out by second homes, Sierra Pacific logging, and snowmobile access.

We all want to get away!
