2. Idealized, rural living was more a goal than a practice of some elements of the counterculture; few succeeded in actually living off the land although the imagery spread far and wide. The film Easy Rider (1969) showed a struggling commune, modeled after the famous Taos Commune of the late 1960s. William deBuys and Alex Harris, River of Traps (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1992), 43-44, offers a more realistic view of the experience of some late 1960s and early 1970s communes.
