    Anyone know of communes?

    I'm looking to join a commune for the first time. The idea sounds wonderful but the ones I found through ic.org are either too far away, don't reply to emails, or have a visit period that is too far away from now. Does anyone know of any communes (preferably within a 10 hour drive in Chicago)...
