Rainbow Gathering Query Answer

[katqanna]

For those interested, on a previous post, some were wondering where this gathering of the Rainbow Family Gathering was going to take place. It is has been decided that it is at the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
Specifically - The G marker.

If you live within one hundred miles, buy LOTS of locks and use them on everything that's not nailed down.

They were in the same place in 2000. Sure was a lot of interesting folk around here. Some good, some bad. mtmuley

We ''hosted'' the gathering in 07. was interesting to say the least.

How long do they typically gather for?

 

[spook12]

I think they say 1 week officially,but they started showing up a couple weeks before and some were still here a couple weeks after.

Gathering logistics

The Rainbow Family has successfully governed Gatherings of up to 30,000 people . Regional Rainbow gatherings can attract as many as 5,000.[14] The U.S. national gathering centers around July 1-7th, but people come up to a month earlier to help set up (this is known as "Seed Camp") and remain on site up to a month later to participate in clean up and perform ecosystem restorations.[15]

Fallsville,Ark.about 20 mins up the hill from the house. I offered 2 guys standing on the corner begging, a job cleaning up a jobsite at 15 bucks an hour cash and got laughed at.

Guess they didn't realize $15 in Arkansas equals $25 anywhere else in the country?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

I am wondering what kind of impact that is going to have on the wildlife (elk) there, especially for an extended period of time not long before hunting season.

Some info about previous Rainbow Gatherings in the Monongahela NF in WV a few years ago.

If you want men in dreadlocks, there are some pretty hot men here in Bozeman with them, just go to the Co-op.
