There's another book, name slips my mind, about how he and his wife pulled a pre-hippy stunt and went to live on a Polynesian island to get "back to nature." This was back before the war.
They found out it was a lot more fun in theory than in reality.
It always is. < g > We camp and backpack a lot, but I am quite fond of (1) labor saving devices (2) civilization.
