The Failed Dreams Of A Hippie Commune

These houses sit on a couple hundred acres, along a private gravel road about twenty miles from where I live in North Texas. There are maybe twenty or so houses on the land.
They were built by members of a commune but, for whatever bad luck and other circumstances, the commune failed.
Most of the houses are still abandoned, but there are people living in some of them. They are off the grid, taking care of the land together as members of a co-op.
There are no electric lines, no water or telephone lines. No sewer system. The people in the houses get their electricity from wind turbines and solar panels. They are using propane. They have dug wells and buried septic tanks.
The houses are built from rebar, chicken wire and cement.
From the road, you would never know they even exist.
