This is very doable for me based on date and location. I can bring a kitchen and food supplies. Happy to act as Creature substitute.

I don't handle my anxiety. It handles me. The best I can hope for is to ride the cresting wave until it peters out. Or hopefully channel the energy into something better. I don't think I'll ever not feel like a failure regardless of what anyone tells me. But I still don't know what normal is...

Fuck ya, it's Florida. I would expect nothing less.

Technically it goes beyond that. There's "seed camp" the week before, then "cleanup" the week after.

Fer sure. Probably won't be there until official start tho

Holding camp # is 770-662-6112. You should be able to get directions off of that.

Exact locations don't happen until typically a week before. Your best bet is to follow the facebook groups. There should be a holding camp posted somewhere in the comments. https://www.facebook.com/groups/490995127768059/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1674753092782810/

Feb 8 - 18

I'm gonna give it a whirl. Already on the east coast, so why the heck not.

Had to share as soon as I saw this...

I believe the ban on alcohol (and harder drugs) is considered necessary due to the way its abuse has hampered or destroyed other communities in the past. Nearby Hippie Hill has a much more lax policy, and I've heard there's lots of fighting there as a result. And of course I see the irony in...

Yeah charging but no signal unless you got an old skool flip phone. The governing setup is pretty interesting. It has taken me multiple visits to grasp. But they do seem to change things based on what works. Like putting alcohol in a cup instead of straight banning it vs temporary bans when it...

Maybe scumfuck is a better term lol. But I agree, what you do is more important than what you're called. The winter crew here are all solid folk, and I think that's key. They do have solar panels plus a bank of batteries in the kitchen area for charging over USB. But no proper plug inverter...

Heh...so to clarify... it's now 20 hours and $10 a week. But I've been told they waive the money due to hardship. Just don't be visibly and blatantly endulging all your vices while claiming you're broke. But no one goes hungry. Not sure how that rumor got started, but it's the one I hear most...

19 at last count. But people constantly come and go. You know how it is...I think 7 years since it got started. There are other goals such as establishing communities on other land, creating a network of buses to help travelers move around, etc... They're allies with several bus caravans who...

http://www.cheaprvliving.com/gatherings/ It says Jan 11-22 according to this site.

It's an intentional farming community. Right now the projects mostly revolve around gathering/chopping wood for fires to stay warm, and maintenance on existing structure like rewiring the electrical system. It is winter after all. But in the spring, there will be a planting party and plenty to...

I missed it last year. But will try to check it out this time around. And definitely Snyder Hill if I'm there.

I'm like you in that I've been trying to live between two worlds. Returning to each one is a culture shock. But I want to have and eat my cake. There's a community in Lafayette, TN I've been visiting off and on, and have finally committed to staying there for the long term. They have plenty of...

There's a solstice gathering happening somewhere in Northern Georgia December 8 - 22. More specific directions should be out on the 8th. No website, but you can call 770-662-6112 for more info.

I can pick you up. Might go east bound to grab a few other folks if you're cool with the detour. I can also drop you back after. Pm me and we'll talk

I should be in LA sometime Wednesday. Can offer rides n such.

Bummer about creature not making it. It was fun shooting the shit with him in the kitchen. I don't mind taking over cooking duties as long as I have decent supplies. Breakfast is one of the easiest meals to whip up imho

I don't think anybody is organizing it, per se. Having said that, I plan to be there during seed camp. Wherever I ultimately decide to pitch my tent, I will stick a StP sign nearby (along the main trail). You're welcome to congregate around that.

I've had a lot of good luck with facebook. If you search for state + "rainbow gathering" and filter on groups/pages, you should find something useful. People usually crosspost too, so once you're subscribed to one, you'll learn about others.

I think he's making his way out there again lol. He's a nice enough dude. Harmlessly entertaining, really. But the religious ramblings and efforts to play Grateful Dead nonstop as loud as possible were starting to give me a headache.

I see his reputation precedes him. Did he also warn you about the power of his right hand to make people move faster?

I haven't been to a national yet (hopefully that will be rectified shortly). So take my words with a grain of salt as well. I've been to one regional so far, and hope to hit up another in North Carolina in a couple days. I think the reason for going all depends on your motivations. I love to...

That's really cool. I had no idea that the last section of the trail is in the town right next to me. I need to check it out.

Basically sand, clay, straw, and water. Should be in plentiful supply around the slabs lol.

Actually not really. I built one at Bluegrass rainbow and it didn't take a lot of coals. The heat gets trapped in the walls instead of lost to the open air. That's how it cooks food. Rocket stoves are even better. They're much more efficient than an open campfire.

I'm going to build an outdoor kitchen while I'm at the jambo. The workshop will be demoing how to construct and use it. In case you're trying to imagine what it will look like, there are a bunch of different ways to do it. I've attached some photos for artistic inspiration. I always wanted to...

I'll see if I can be there a week early as well. Will hopefully bring more cooking supplies this time.

I plan to be there. Don't know if I'll be caravaning like before. Road trips are fun, but crazy long.

I plan to check this out next month. They're also cool with people stopping by before and after the event to lend a hand. Here's the event info: This gathering is all about people coming together and the possibilities that come from that. By building community and working together we can do...

I'm in DC now. Plan to check out the Norfolk protest as well if anyone wants to hitch along.

To add to that: I've never crossed the border at McAllen. But I have gone several times thru Laredo/Nuevo Laredo. It's a heavily trafficked area. So if you're looking to hitch you might have better luck there.

Texas cops in general are dicks, although university cops are probably the worst. And yes, small town cops deserve their reputation. These towns typically make their money busting people with bullshit speed trap fines. It's better the closer you get to the gulf, though. Corpus and Galveston are...

I don't mind doing a writeup and posting back here.

After much deliberation, I think I will be doing this. Will be a nice distraction from the ice and snow that is Virginia in January. Probably hit up the slabs too...kinda curious to see what it's like in the dead of winter. Anyone that wants to catch a ride from me on the east coast is welcome...

Gotta say I'm tempted now...

Depending on how the year goes I might be able to stay for a month or so. Definitely keep me in mind when summer rolls around.

The easy thing about my screen name is that it's the same as my real name :D

Was planning to hit Phoenix on Wed, but totally willing to reroute thru Tucson to grab ya. Distance is about the same

I know Multifaceted is, but she hasn't gotten back to me. But I think she's in Houston.

On my way now. Driving thru Georgia and have 2 seats open if anyone wants 'em Sent from my STUDIO ENERGY 2 using the Squat the Planet mobile app!

I've got 4 total. 5 if you count the dog :D

I think I'm full now. If anything changes, I'll post back here to let everyone know.

I'll be coming down from Virginia solo with a Honda Element, and heading back the same direction. Currently have 3 seats open for those who want to hitch a ride.

I'm willing to help as well with whatever's necessary.
