SLAB CITY LIVING WILD IN THE DESERT

Slab City may well be the most unconventional community in North America. It boasts a blend of down shifters, artists, hippies and anarchists living in their motor homes, rent-free and uninhibited by social obligations. Slab City has neither mayor nor police station, doctor or stores. No electricity, gas or running water. In exchange, everyone can live the way they want: adventurous seniors who travel here every winter in their luxury motor home, old hippies or penniless musicians. Even the 8-member Neill family was driven here - by the economic crisis and homelessness.
