Location: Dialogs Booth #1150

Dialog: Taylor Camp, 1969 to 1977 — Kauai resident Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bails out a rag-tag band of young mainlanders jailed for having no money and no home and invites them to live on his oceanfront land. Soon, waves of surfers, hippies, and Vietnam vets find their way to this clothing-optional, pot-friendly, tree house village at the end of the road on Kauai’s North Shore. It’s the ultimate hippie fantasy—order without rules—until eight years later when the locals decide it’s time for them to go.
