BajaNomad - 50 YEAR OLD HIPPIES

50 YEAR OLD HIPPIES

Skeet/Loreto - 7-12-2009 at 03:36 PM

As some of you know I sometimes get on the "L

ng Haired Hippie Freaks coming to Baja.
Well I have met some "Long Haired Hippie Freaks that I sure do admire.

Crested Butte Colorado!! I was their on July the Fourth and those folks had a Party. And you never saw so many Bicycles.
These Folks have old Cabins in Town that sell for $850,000.
A Ski Mountain close and some of the most Beautifull Mountains around. and all the Flyfishing anyone could dream of.

I have found the next best thing to Loreto Baja. Beautifull Horse Trails to ride, Streams to Fish and Hippies with "Proper Dress" and did not see anyone with Rings in their fingers and Toes. and Nose, and Ears.

Great place if you can.t make it to Baja.

So how could you tell they were hippies, Skeet? :biggrin:

Cypress - 7-12-2009 at 04:01 PM

You been hanging out with some mighty young hippies. :biggrin:

surfer jim - 7-12-2009 at 04:04 PM

Those were children of hippies.....(much too young)......

comitan - 7-12-2009 at 04:14 PM

If you go again in January you would change your mind. :yes:

woody with a view - 7-12-2009 at 04:17 PM

the next generation of hippie is young and has matted/dreadlocks in their hair. and the patchoulie oil doesn't cover the need for a wire brush scrubbin'...

Crusoe - 7-12-2009 at 04:22 PM

Skeet......You never saw hippies in Loreto with the size of "TRUST FUNDS" like the kind they have in Crested Butte. Not even close!!!!! ++C++

BajaNuts - 7-12-2009 at 04:28 PM

Trustafarians who like the snow and build $850k cabins..........

SEND SOME OUR WAY! We need some new folks with money to burn up our way. And we have better cross-country skiing.....

DENNIS - 7-12-2009 at 04:46 PM

Rich Arabs.

Skeet/Loreto - 7-12-2009 at 05:12 PM

Guess I should say more.

These folks where well dressed and had muscled Legs due to riding up and down the trails, the Music was of the 60's, they all seemed happy with smiling faces, with out a care in the world, drinking all kinds of Lattes, and Energy Drinks, talking about love and Sex.

There was even two young sexy girls trying to sell memberships in something called "GreenPeace", I watched as two older Couples listened and just smiled as they moved off.

This is the only place I have ever seen Two Story Outhouses!!

A very Happy Place.

Skeet.....I know how those places are built and you do not want to use the lower story. Gravity and all ya know.

BajaNuts - 7-12-2009 at 05:29 PM

skeet- it sound even more like they'd fit in up here. send them on up, we'd be happy to build 2-story outhouses and cabins for them.
:tumble:

Bajahowodd - 7-12-2009 at 05:33 PM

Geez. If only I could live to be 500, I'd be able to understand the evolution of culture. (maybe)

805gregg - 7-12-2009 at 05:34 PM

I used to hang out at Haight & Ashbury in the 60's does that make me a hippy?

Hippie is more of a philosophy than a lifestyle.

Packoderm - 7-12-2009 at 06:09 PM

Well you know, I have once met some cowboys I respected. They didn't wear those awful cowboy hats or dusty boots. They lived in million dollar condos, and they have never rode a horse. OK, I'm horsechitting you this time. I would rather meet an authentic hippie just as I would rather meet an authentic cowboy. Now, to what really matters: where can I actually find that place that has the nekkid female motorcycle riders? I've looked - to no avail.

Howard - 7-12-2009 at 06:15 PM

I wish I still had hair so I could grow it long and be called a "hippie". Somehow it all went up in smoke (pun intended) and now they say I am a yuppie. I wonder what the next step is, maybe a geriatric?

toneart - 7-12-2009 at 06:31 PM

Holding on to stereotypes and making those presumptions a tenet for one's philosophy is to limit the possibilities of what could be. There are wonderful people everywhere and many look different than you.

Sometimes, exposure to different cultures and experiencing them with open minds can turn one's head around.

It sounds like these people in Crested Butte opened up their hearts and Ol' Skeet had an epiphany. :bounce:

That was obviously not a Union outhouse. :lol:

Packoderm.....You missed your big show!! There was a parade and riding demonstration put on by the " NEKID GIRL MOTORCYCLE ASSOCIATION" at the Oregon Country Fair and New Age Gathering this week end in Eugene, Ore.. Talk about seeing a few 50 y.o. hipsters. ++C++

DENNIS - 7-12-2009 at 07:28 PM

OK....Anybody have some pics of "Burning Man?"

BooJumMan - 7-12-2009 at 10:10 PM

Burning man, 2001!

It's on my bucket list.

Bajahowodd - 7-13-2009 at 12:03 AM

So much for a telephoto lens. Looks more like burning man and woman.

Beachgirl - 7-13-2009 at 06:59 AM

Couple of happy hipsters at the annual chili cook-off in Mulege. Hustling chili, corn muffins (nothing Alice B. tho) and shooting up Patron only. Pretty harmless at 60.

who's the good lookin' chick on the right?...wow!...far out, man!

Terry28 - 7-13-2009 at 09:11 AM

I grew up in the 60"s ( in Ojai) and will always remember Dear Abbey's definition of a hippy..." Someone who dresses like a Joe, looks like a Jane....and smells like a John!" loved it... but did not agree...we smelled more like cheap mexican herb....

Skeet/Loreto - 7-13-2009 at 10:15 AM

Great words,Sure looks like I am finding out what is a Hippie!

Oackoderm: Goggle up "Dykes on Bikes: and you will see where I saw Nekid Girls on Motorcycles.,

Had a great time, met some great People at Crested Butte. Hope to go back soon and just noticed in the news that the top Place to live is Louisville Colo.

38 years in Baja is hard to beat.The Texas Panhandle has the Best Weather, and Colo has the Best Fishing{Fresh water, that is}.

And the Girls are Pretty ANYWHERE!!!

castaway$ - 7-13-2009 at 07:09 PM

Wow! What a farout thread, you guys are really groovy. Peace.

fishbuck - 7-13-2009 at 07:25 PM

My mom lives in Eagle. She was born there. Both my grandparents were born there.
But I kinda hate the place now.
When I go to visit her I get out of town and up into the mountains as quick as I can.
Only problem is that the town keeps getting farther up into the mountains.
Rich a-holes are buying everything up and putting up big berms along the road that blocks the view.
Pretty soon it won't even seem like the pristine mountains it use to be.
It sucks!

shari - 7-13-2009 at 07:31 PM

Wondered where you were. Been out tie-dying shirts again?

nuthin like a nice tie dye; brings out the blue in yer eyes...peace, brotha!

BajaNuts - 7-13-2009 at 08:06 PM

since this thread started about 50 year old hippies, I'd like to add a couple local events that would be of interest to said topic----

http://www.fairycongress.com/archives/archives.htm

portion of mission statement---
"The Fairy & Human Relations Congress affects the planet by joining with the nature, devic and other higher realms to bring more peace, love and understanding into the world. Our goal is not to escape the outer world but to positively affect it. "

http://www.okanoganfamilyfaire.net/

You haven't experienced barterfaire until you've seen the nymph in gauze sprinkling fairy dust on all good people.....

or the full torso body painting....on women....

parading their artwork.

Almost did the body art, but outside temps were around 50F.....too cold for these headlights!

These gatherings may be of interest to 50 year old hippies in the northwest USA and southwest Canada.

Oh...Sounds as though you've met The Gull.

BajaNuts - 7-13-2009 at 11:11 PM

well.... if "The Gull"..... is 17-19 yrs old, princess blonde, 110 lbs max, and wears gauze which shows off........well.........everything a nymph should show off ..........., perhaps we have met..... ?

Or maybe it could be the Faerie Godmother..........

Bajahowodd - 7-14-2009 at 12:00 AM

Pretenders! Yours truly attended Woodstock. Later spent time in Greenwich Village and then the Haight. But for all my training, I ended up working for an insurance company. A long, strange trip, eh?

fishbuck - 7-14-2009 at 01:04 AM

Ya, a little poser like.
I'm 50 and I can tell you that the hippie scene had pretty much run it's course by the time we were teens.
I did catch the tail end of it. Grew my hair long, smoked pot etc.
My real interest was the free love part. The pill. Bra burning. Ya man!
I did have alot of druggie chick girlfiends. Kinda like hippie chicks I guess.
But we were "Sex, drugs and rocknroll".
They were "Peace, love, and sex"
They had hippies vans. We had Harleys and muscle cars. And a few party vans.
Fortunately, I was an athlete and never got into the drug scene much.
But I never went back to team sports. Only X sports. But we didn't call them that. They didn't have a name then.
Then the military and corporate america. 10 more years of working for "the man" and I'll retire to baja and forget all about it.
And I'm not wearing any f-ing tie-dye either!
Save the f-ing whales man! :cool:

[Edited on 7-14-2009 by fishbuck]

shari - 7-14-2009 at 07:11 AM

Now I know what to get you for Xmas Fishy :lol:

Save the Tie Dyes!
Some people have commented that Baja is 40 years behind the times...guess that's why I feel so at home here :cool:

(too bad they dont have a smiley face with long hair)

I was there too. :coolup:

August '69. Got there a few days before it started, watched the final construction of the bandstand, the whole show, left a few days after it ended. Spaced out on Max Yasgur's farm.

I don't think Joni showed up - tough to remember.

Funny you should mention that name. There's a realtor lady in Cabo, Ina Yank, who claims Max Yasgur is her uncle. [I think it was uncle] She told me that forty years ago in Newport Beach.

I've seen some reviews on her RE activities down there and I think she has several renditions of various nicknames. You can Google her name.
Anyway, I hadn't seen here for those forty years until somebody mentioned her name here on Nomad, the great Baja clearing-house.

Skeet/Loreto - 7-14-2009 at 08:00 AM

Go Hippies Go!

I thought the World had gone Sappy when I heard about Woodstock!!
Until I had an office in San Francisco during the "Flower Children" times remmembering the times I would drive home down Shattuck Ave in Berkerey to watch the Bouncing Boobs.

Colorado has done great things with their Park Systems, Their Fisheries, their Lakes and Streams.
It is gewtting so Popular they may have to start a Reservation system like at maybe Horse Camp Park up near Crested Butte.
It was packed full of Horses and Mules from Mo. TExas, Colo. New Mex.

I can see why a whole bunch of West Coast people have moved in and are still coming.

Hurray for the Hippies!!!.

Martyman - 7-14-2009 at 08:19 AM

Hurray for the hippies!
I went and saw the Allman Brothers the other night. The place was packed with hippies. Smelled good too!

DanO - 7-14-2009 at 10:37 AM

I recall pullling into Crusted Butt around 1:00 a.m. many years ago after driving across the state from Colorado Springs. We were hopelessly lost, there was no moon and the town was totally dark. My buddy Mike was driving, and took a right turn on a narrow dirt road through a meadow surrounded by woods. The drive dead ended and rather than back us out, Mike bushwhacked us through the long grass to get us turned around. Noting that the grass seemed to be kinda bumpy, I made him stop, got out and poked around with a flashlight until I discovered that we were in a graveyard. Good times.

Bajahowodd - 7-14-2009 at 11:24 AM

Skeet- Possible that you recall a great dive bar and Italian joint on Shattuck? For the life of me I can't recall the name, but their booze was way cheap.

The misspelling was entirely intentional. A local referred to it that way.

Actually, having family residing in Boulder for decades, I know from what you speak. Still, it is funnier in the context of your post.

Sounds like you guys were Greateful Dead on arrival! :yes:

Nice driving there Cheech!

Skeet/Loreto - 7-14-2009 at 02:40 PM

Speaking of "Crusted Butts" I was amazed at the Beautifull Hard Butts that those 50 year old Hippie Women where carring Around!!

Fantastic! All Sizes! and the muscles were rippin,

Bajahowood; was the place named Jerry,s; Not sure as my memory is a long way off.

Hey! I even went into a Hostel and took a Shower{First time ever for a Hostel } Clean and neat for $5.. Did not get Flashed or Mashed.

Gotta keep this baja related and I know how. Folks put down Cabo and other resort areas, Butt, those swim-up bars and poolside lounge chairs can be mighty nice if you're into star gazing. Best time for solteros is when there is one of those EXPENSIVE marlin fishing extravaganzas happening. All the fish guys are gone all day playing with their bait and the lonely gals are hanging out all over the pool comparing diamond rings. Finisterra is where I used to fish, before I got hooked up.

Sounds like a good tip! But better tell the girls if I go there, there will be a "major chubasco coming"!

Here's a good one!!!.....My son went to a Burning Man celebration last year and ment a man from Los Barriles. And he is going by the title of... " Doctor Feelgood".... Claimed to be the self appointed Mayor of L.B. or so he said. Anyhow,what was really entertaining however, was that he had a tent set up at the Burning Man, with a sign that read "FREE BREAST INSPECTIONS" and had a line of women outside waiting to get in. ++C++ :lol:

Cypress - 7-14-2009 at 05:46 PM

The Burning Man is were the older Rainbow Festival crowd go when they get the time. :biggrin:
