United States
abandoned RR tunnel at west end of property
 According to the Myan calender there isn't much time. So we are now interviewing couples for spring 2012 to join us and help build a community here in WV on 28 acres totally off the grid.
We are looking for help on the barter system to get this started. Prefer couples only no children. We have many skills to teach such as black smithing,welding,canning, soap making,charcoal,cheese making,rocket stove building,butchering, smoking and preserving foods. We have a green house and will have a community kitchen and bath house and laundry facilities.
some singles will be considered. we would like to keep this on a small scale of two or three couples. We are for real and currently live off of the grid at this location Thanks for your interest. larry
