Chappaquiddick’s Secret Wigwam
Back in the early 1970’s there was a secret wigwam on Chappaquiddick Island that became a refuge in a scrub oak forest. Nixon was still the president, Jaws was just being filmed, and the world seemed a quiet place (compared to San Francisco where I had finished college). Working on an all-girl painting crew I learned tricks they never taught in college.

This is the only section of the country I haven’t spent time in. It does come to life in your description of people and places. Funny about girls named Laura, though. I have a very strong one myself, and named her after a “tougher than nails” aunt I used to have. Thanks for sharing the “secret wigwam.”

I want to know more about the wigwam. But the all girl painting crew sounds facinating.

Does gettting your butt pinched and working in an all girls painting crew have anything in common?
Nice story…too bad times can’t stay the same or at least continue to evolve into a continual adventure.
Good story..
