Man I must be getting old. I fondly remember going to gatherings in the 90s nobody really started shit and all the ones that did usually stayed by A camp there was more of hippy friendly atmosphere throughout the gathering more sharing and trade and alot less theft and ripping people off although i do remeber this dude sticking another dude over like 5 hits of acid at 1horse gap in like 95 but than a bunch of dudes threw a boot party on that guy the next day and ran him out of the gathering. I mean shit man if u had to rip people off the townies were way easier and they always had good shit from their mommas house withem that they'd trade for a lil bit of herb or a hit or two the only gatherings i used to avoid were by colleges cause i couldnt stand the self righteous poser ass college kids with their rich boy gear and theyre like I am so eco minded and like fuk da establishment attitudes meanwhile they drink starbuks and paid 100buks for a hemp poncho and their driving vdubs that were restored on daddys dime man i hated those posers . Shit man iwent to my first gathering with my ma and dad at smilyface towers when i was like 12 we weren't total rainbow but we were gypses we'd always go to illinois gatherings cause my pops would start a couple feilds every may out there than wed cruise the south east chasin storms livin in an old camper workin construction all summer and come back to illinois in the fall to harvest and setup wintercamp. I went out on my own in 97 and hitched a few spots hopped a few spots and laid up in a couple more. ended up chillin in chicago burbs in 99 cause i got this chik pregs next thing i no im conforming to a job and renting places than shit went downhill i started a savings and bought a house and tried to be a good lil citizen no disorderly or drug cases since 99 Now im like man iwasted so much time tryin to be upstanding uncle sams been rammin me in da ass my house is in foreclosure cause my morttgage lender failed [fannymae] and i lost my job like 3yrs ago cause the housing market busted and i built houses So now im like fukit im 30 i got a truck and a small camper im takin my girl and headin out west gonna c some shit do some shit and find a spot to setup for the winter there are millions of unused acres of land out there some good some bad but tons with out of state owners that have never even seen the land they own places that people bought around colorado and wyoming as investment properties[man i just rambled about nothing]
