The Hippie Tree
Downtown Traverse City, Northern Michigan
A Preview
"You've walked out past the edge of the old hospital grounds, into the woods, and you're standing in front of a tree that does not look like the other trees. It's gnarled, low, sprawling — and every inch of it is covered in paint. Layers and layers of graffiti, decades deep. This is the Hippie Tree, and it is the strangest, spookiest little pilgrimage site in northern Michigan."
