Are you related to Peter Coyote? It is a serious question; there is
such a person, known at least to Whole Earth Quarterly readers. . . .
he reportedly took this name as a result of hallucinogenic-induced
visions. Interesting story there, too. I think Peter Coyote is not
so well known these days.

Well, It's sorta long being a whole 'nother civilization and all, but
the
short of it starts when I quit my job as a trucker and drove my house
[an
old $250 school bus] to Seattle from NC and didn't have enough money to
make it back.
I spent that summer in the Washington Grasslands living in the bus and
peeling Ponderosa Pine logs for log cabins at $5 each..I could peel 2 a
day. That bark was superglued on there!
What the heck..nuthin else to do 'cept forage for wild food and eat
rattlesnakes and such.
It was so far out there that, if I heard a car coming, I could make
and
eat breakfast and have a cup of coffee before it showed up. I could
wander
around for weeks and not see a soul!
The next 6 years was, in a way, spent working my way back here by way
of
Texas, Virginia, S Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi, West Virginia and Minnisota living and traveling as a
nomad in
the treeple [tree people] tribe doing the Treeple Tribal Ordeal Dance
[aka
planting trees] 2 to 4 thousand of them a day...all winter and doing
whatever the heck I felt like all summer. [Sent a whole summer fishing
in
Alaska]
Then I discovered $20,000 under my mattress and bought 20 acres of
land
just as insurance companies and government regulations designed to
keep me
"safe and secure" made being a Treeple untenable.
The land [called, "The Busranch"] turned into a retirement home and a
gathering place for Treeple to organize their activities from.
It's the old " Young man off to sea to seek his fortune" story,
except the
only water was in frozen ditches and swamps, the boat was a land yacht
bus
and instead of pulling an oar I wielded a hoe-dad ... and I wasn't
actually
"looking" for anything.
..just found a lot. :-)
