We're getting our first taste of spring weather in Northwest Arkansas, lulled into the false spring that typically precedes at least one final cold snap. Here's an aerial view from warmer times taken at sunrise, looking out over the forests and rolling hills of the Ozarks.

I don't know why every offroad bikepacking event must give the impression that they're the "hardest thing ever". 🤷 But this is certainly a well made documentary.

White Nationalist leader in #Arkansas accused of #LandSwindle, attempted murder

by Jacqueline Froelich February 6, 2026

"#PeterCsere makes his living developing private intentional communities. In 2016 in #ElPangui, #Ecuador, he helped establish #FruitHavenEcovillage, a vegan decentralized egalitarian consensus-based collective carved into the edge of an Amazon rainforest.

"Seven years later, in 2023, Csere fled Fruit Haven, chased by allegations that he took others’ money with him. Csere has since broken ground on a controversial new #WhitesOnly development in the #Arkansas #Ozarks branded Return to the Land, currently occupied by a few dozen followers. He and partner #EricOrwoll, a California native and amateur #pornographer, purchased 160 acres of raw property in rural Sharp County to construct their prototype #WhiteNationalist compound. The private membership association last year drew international media attention, public condemnation and great admiration from #Extremist brethren.

[...]

"The most serious allegation cited by Fruit Haven residents is that Csere physically attacked members of the #ShuarNation, an #Amazonian #indigenous tribe, in a dispute over llegal mining. The #Shuar were panning for gold along a stream on Fruit Haven property, which they claim is their original tribal land base.

"According to Frost, Csere, by that point, had begun to dress in 'military-style clothing' and had become increasingly confrontational with locals.

[...]

“Members from the white nationalist and #WhiteIdentitarian community have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund #ReturnTotheLand projects in Arkansas including tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees,' Russell said. 'Yet there is no evidence that money is being used as promised. This is not a misunderstanding — it is deliberate donor deception.' "
