David and Cynthia visiting Hillary at Twin Oaks, March 5-7, 2004
Hillary has a small room with sleeping loft. There are seven residence buildings and many other facilities on this 500-acre, 100-resident, intentional community near Charlottesville, VA.

Everything from the hammock frames to the hammock rope (made from 24 strands on the machine pictured above) is made on-site at Twin Oaks. The wood for the hammocks comes from their own sawmill.

Hammocks and hammock chairs hang everywhere.

Just after I took the moldy cheese picture, a crew came in for cheese scrubbing. They scrub off the mold with vinegar and wipe down the refrigerator periodically as the cheese ages. The cheese was quite good.

I believe these were called "Dutch Belted" cattle. I'd never seen such animals. David said they looked like 3-part legos.
