[pct-l] Fwd: Hiker-trash lifestyle and the Future...

[Diane Soini]

Awesome van for dwelling! Have you read the zine "Dwelling Portably"  
from Microcosm Publishing? I bought a bunch of their multi-year zines  
after I completed the trail and loved reading and imagining. They go  
way back to the 70s. It's not the same person who does the dwelling  
portably website. The guy who does the website seems a little odd  
although the people who do the zine have to be a little odd to live  
in a tarp in the Oregon forest and type out a zine for so many years.

I love the license plate, too.
