National Rainbow Gathering

[wildboy860]

see you fuckers there! my ride is secured, thank you very much Graven. StP Camp, what, what....

I'm headed for Nationals. I'm in Roswell, NM today (why?! I have no idea--I thought there'd be more wingnuts), but I'm headed north and then east. Probably going through Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Denver, then cutting across Kansas to pick up a friend in Lawrence/Kansas City. Not really sure the path after that, probably through St. Louis and then going further north. I have a lot of friends in the Pittsburgh area, so I might kick it there with some kids for a couple days.

I got a big van, yo. I've stuffed thirteen people (all people from Craigslist who PAID to ride, hahah, all the way from Seattle down to Willits/Fort Bragg/Mendocino) plus dogs in there before. There's a hammock that hangs from the ceiling, and I don't have a lot of shit, so there's a lot of room.

Got a cat, so if you have allergies, sorry. Also, if you have a really aggro dog, my cat WILL annihilate him/her. He usually sleeps on the dashboard (or in his ice bed--it gets fucking hot out) and doesn't dip into the backhalf too often.

Been doing this for a long time; I'm a really proficient jugger, and I'm hoping to get this Annual Pass thingy (it's only $80) that allows unlimited stays at any national or state parks in the country for the cardholder and four guests. Showers!

Anyway, Allegheny, here we come.

Anyone that wants to hop in is welcome.

I'm thinking of stopping by the Wild Roots, Feral Futures gathering near Durango, CO (http://squattheplanet.com/where/eve...tures-anti-civ-gathering-colorado-june-2010-a) and getting a ride out east from there, but my plans aren't set in stone.

 

[Crisp]

i'll be there. got my ride secured. i'll definitely camp at StP if i end up finding it.

 

[madewithpaint]

my first rainbow ever... should be interesting

 

[PsilocyBen]

Not sure if I'll be heading out to nationals or not. I'll definitely be at Katua; I'm getting ready to head over there now actually. If I find a ride up to PA then I'll probably be there.

 

[Poking Victim]

I should be out there in a couple of weeks.
There's a regional gathering in Washington late August/ early September in the Colville National Forest, North of Spokane.

I might attend, after missing the florida gatherings this winter, if I can swing being gone for a bit with probation (bastards found out I was hitching around and leaving the county, and are up my ass for it).

Anyone going up early before they start to shuttle in or staying late can find some pretty awesome campgrounds in willow bay.
Aspen loop would be my first choice.Its been awhile since ive been up there but i believe Hemlock loop has showers,and the lake itself.
Tracy ridge campgrounds have showers as well but can be somewhat buggy.
Sugar bay and Willow bay are some pretty descent fishing area's as well as below Kinzua dam over by the fishery.
Bradford,PA is close by(home of the Zippo lighter)their museum is actually pretty damn cool.And lets not forget state route 666.
Also theres quite abit of bike trails up there as well.

What bad shit happens?

 

[socialjustice911]

[spoorprint]

The police/Forest service gets more heavy handed.My last gathering was W.Va. 2005, lots of raids for people with warrants, armed foot patrols etc.
Don't want to engage in rumours, so I won't speak to more recent years.

 

[wildboy860]

Nah... I've heard similar stories! And also have heard that it gets worse from year to year!

Hey Hooch, or anyone driving there from philly or jersey, if you're going through Reading, or near by, my Cousin and I are going to try and hitch towards the gathering and would very much appreciate a ride and may have money for gas for you as well. PM me if you are, we could meet you somewhere closer to your route if you're not heading through our city!
