I have been in Q-zite exactly 1 month, and have been practicing your approach here on homeless, and it works!! Almost everyone wants to talk to somebody!! I have met some really interesting people here just by slowly engaging them!! Keep it up, you're making peoples lives a bit brighter!BlackSheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096792664054983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31383424.post-21877553992715097292011-12-29T22:52:17.361-07:002011-12-29T22:52:17.361-07:00This is so fascinating!

I love the spirit with which your group came into the Slabs and established an immediate rapport.<br />Isn't this a better way... to invite yourselves into a different kind of lifestyle (that some of these folks didn't really choose) than be a zoo like observer?<br />I admire your decision to choose this "new travel style".farmladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516462251842458511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31383424.post-39394779218450188442011-12-29T20:53:12.084-07:002011-12-29T20:53:12.084-07:00Slab City is a conglomeration of desert dwellers. ...Slab City is a conglomeration of desert dwellers. It is an extraordinary community indeed. Some are permanent residents who live in shelters like old trailer shells or lean tos. The people are peaceful, helpful and self-sufficient. The key to the community is self-sufficiency.<br />Cities would love to get rid of their homeless and have them go to the Slabs, but the problem with that is – there’s limited space and zero amenities such as food, clothing, shelter. There’s no water or public restrooms. There are no sewage plants and no garbage pickup. It’s like camping in a junk yard.<br />It’s a myth that everything is free at the slabs. Don’t go there thinking about trying to beg, the Slabbers have nothing to give. Don’t go there without a place to stay, food and water.<br />It’s not Mecca. (Mecca’s up the road a peace.)Gracienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31383424.post-81949721681657311482011-12-29T20:02:36.509-07:002011-12-29T20:02:36.509-07:00We spent a couple weeks there last winter and love...We spent a couple weeks there last winter and loved it! Got friends out there that come every year. It's a place to be experienced and you can't describe it till you been there yourself. <br /><br />We will be back! <br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...
