It still exists..although it is now surrounded by burbs...while it once stood alone out on the black adobe flats on the way to SSU. It had an eclectic collection of owner built as well as rolling houses, trailers, busses, vans, milk trucks, house trucks and more exotic stuff. Although any other trailer park meets the same definition of a group of people living in close proximity in minimalist spaces. The idea of an intentional community is what separates a trailer park from a place where something is ostensibly " going on". The drift in- drift out factor and the mendocino shuffle, and the law of unintended consequences seem to doom most of these places to a finite life..but that's not to say they don't make history while they hang together. besides memorable sex is where you find it. Just don't scare the horses. Sure… it was called Sonoma Grove in Cotati.

besides memorable sex is where you find it.

Just don’t scare the horses.
