“Most of them are just here while they make up their minds to return to the ‘Establishment’ world and what they want to do there.” “We’ve had no trouble,” Howard said in a 1970 Honolulu Star-Bulletin article. It was in 1969 that Howard welcomed homeless men, women and children to live on his beachfront property, with no rules or rent to pay. Howard owned the 7 acres of land in Haena, a scenic coastline of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a tropical abundance of streams, caves and green cliffs. Taylor Camp, as it would become known, was named after Kauai resident Howard Taylor, the brother of actress Elizabeth Taylor. Where the road ends on Kauai’s north shore, a group of hippies in the early 1970s lived in an off-grid Hawaii community of tree houses, grew their hair long, smoked weed and chose to go nude. Taylor Camp resident Diane Daniells built this tree house with lumber from an old plantation camp house.
