Maloney did not take his three visitors at face value. He knew from experience that the Ozarks draw many people for reasons other than the appreciation of nature. The area along the Missouri-Arkansas line has been home to privacy seekers ranging from well-armed isolationist groups to prosperous marijuana farmers. Maloney said, "I asked them the question, 'Were they looking for a place to hide,' and they didn't respond to that." The trio left the same day and never came back...

...three jump--a dreamlike scene of letting go--and discover a commune of becalmed, largely indistinguishable migrants much like themselves. Weeks go by without exhilaration or despair. The beach dwellers fish, steal a little marijuana from an illicit plantation and work on their tans. Eventually, perhaps because everyone has read Lord of the Flies, things fall apart nastily. But even this calamity, which involves blood and dead people (the pot growers lose patience), does not touch the survivors. They grab sandals and rucksacks and move on. Richard reports all this a year later from London, where he is tethered...
