WESTERN WASHIGNTON HOLDING CAMP IS CLOSED AS OF TODAY/VERY IMPORTANT INFO


by Pippie Hfm on Monday, June 6, 2011 at 10:43am

so there has been issues since the beginning of the holding camp rush..as there is every year at the holding camps..i was offered to post direction to private land that the family could use out side of longveiw washington for a holding camp. the family that owns this land was informed on basic rainbow traditions and how to go about handling stressful situations during this period of transition from holding camp to gathering site..the mama who owns the land has been to several gathering and knows whats up..although her husband seems like a sweet guy he has made several horrible mistakes and taken my advice out of context...he has never been to a gathering or seen how thing are normally done within the family and our gathering setting...not sure on date and time on when this happened but he did take a gun out and fire it into the air screaming and being agro..not only is t uncalled for but extremely dangerous and stupid...so i spoke with his wife this morn and we have come to the conclusion that the western washignton holding camp is shutting its doors as of this morn...please do ot go there or try and contact this brother and sister about this issue..we should definitely have council on land at this year annual gathering and touch base on this issue if we choose to do so..i respectfully ask the family(land owners) to be left alone after this point i do not wish to see any harm done to this family or any extra stress put on them..although firing a gun into the air could have killed someone and that just the beginning of the list of thing that could have gone wrong..iam not condoning his action in any way shape or form..lets leave this situation to be delt with in council..if anyone has any concern please contact me and let me know what is goin on..i apologize for any and everything that has inconvenienced anyone that was in western washinton holding camp..PLEASE PASS THIS INFO ALONG

RUMOR CONTROL !!!

The gathering is hapening - the location
of the holding camp has CHANGED.

That is all.

I would suggest that folks who are headed out there NOW/EN ROUTE to
holding camp/seed camp to call the Washington Light Line as soon as possible.

[wildboy860]

me n my girl are headed out to washington early next week. see ya'll there.

 

[Linda/Ziggy]

Hey folks I am back !

Anyway I will post directions to Spring Council here in a bit!

The word that is getting out re Spring Council is the site/area is SOAKED from snow melt.
And it is cold and wet and folks NEED to be prepared for that.

And it sounds like folks need to go to Portland and wait till gather site is announced,
unless you are wanting to be engaged and involved with Spring Council & seed camp.....

AND AGAIN... PLEASE CALL THE Washington Light Line for up to date info !!
And go to the washington gathering blog at blog spot.com - details above in earlier posts !

Peace
Linda/Ziggy

please note the above post...take direction given to spring council..do not attempt to take other forest roads due to closures!!!.....

Some say while in Washington you can experience all four seasons in one day..so please come prepared for that!! here is a small list of suggestions of must not forgets for this years gathering in Washington national forest(where about unknown still)

1) at least to pairs of clothing..so one can dry and you still have clothes to put on
2) a thin under layer like thermals...layers are key up here in the woods
3)a tarp (st least big enough to cover you while sleeping)
4)bliss wear(or a mess kit/eating utensils)
5)rope
6)sunscreen
7)bug spray(mosquitoes are bad this time of year)
8)tobacco(cause its supper expensive here)
9)good boots or watr proof shoes ( we could see muddy conditions/wet conditions)
10)a good sleeping bag and a tent for god sakes!!!

come prepared for all and everything


should have site directions soon!!!!
