It's FloydFest weekend and this little county of 13,000 people with one traffic light will have 15,000 folks attending the 4 day music festival this weekend and the place does tend to seem like you've traveled back in time to the hippie hayday.

Local and state cops are out in force - saw more today on my quick trip in to town to run a few errands than I would normally see in several months.

I just want you to know that I'm wasting my 1x/month post to say that nothing is insane about liking guns or hating cats. Meth addicts are universally WAY too weird, even when they're not addicts anymore.

This is a take from another thread: Hipsters vs Hippies. There are plenty of hipster towns. I'm wondering the location of the small earthy hangouts. No college towns and places with affordable housing.

What? How can a place be suitable for hippies if it's not all about education and low-budget living?

Lots of "back to earth types" in the small towns in Western Wisconsin between Madison and La Crosse and southwest of Madison: Gays Mills, Viroqua, Lancaster, Green County. The UW-Madison graduates a lot of hippies every year and they have to go somewhere!

Why are you ruling out college towns?

Smart hippies would know better than to waste money on college.

Oregon doesn't count. That is hipster central. Please don't mention Colorado or Washington either.
