wow what a shocker steamboat springs it is..

[hippiehillbilly]

why did they even act like there wasnt a descision on the site?

the whole game is becoming so transparent..

why not just announce next years gathering now?

[TreyK47]

can you be a lil more specific? the rest of us outside of steamboat springs, babylon would like to know where your source of this rant is stemming from...

[hippiehillbilly]

Here are directions for the Annual Rainbow Family World Gathering in
Colorado.

>From Steamboat Springs. Take Hwy 40 West to CR 129 North (Elk River
Road) Go past Coumbine to FS 550E. Take that road to FS 500, make a
right. Go about 2 miles to FS 520, go about 2 more miles.
Welcome Home & Drive Safely!!!
Peace, Love and Light.

[hippiehillbilly]

um the circle of light howdy folks that was sent out today from welcome here is my source..

that an 3 other e mails we awoke to..

[measa420]

man i just became free from the mans grip and i already was sent about 3 or 4 emails on how to get to the gathering

might as well start charging to get in
a matter of fact when i was in the joint like 2 or 3 months ago
i was givin the info thats crazy
being unknown can be a beautiful thing but thats just my opinion
so free party in the woods
and thats just a very sad thing
i know rainbow is for everyone but everyone is not ment for rainbow

LOVE AND LIGHT

Seems that council doesn't really decide much anyway. Hell, they knew this year's site was going to be in CO before council even happened at the WV gathering.

INTERESTING..

Hi all,

It has been brought to my attention that the validity of this location
has yet to be verified. I received this information from an email
group that I belong to. Please understand that this post is intended
to be informative and not conclusive.

Thank you,

so why would welcome here send out false directions to a gathering??

hmmmmmm?????

[hippiehillbilly]

so now everyone is part of seed camp..

Water, cup & spoon, & your magic sELF are the essentials.

Those arriving early or staying late, prepare for extra 6up activity.

not so much evil blah, blah as personal experiences with people tend to stick & the words of one in the clan make it so that we just don't trust much coming out of that network.

But yes, HHB gather where ever you can when ever you can! Y'all's place seems to be a piece of the dream of a continual gathering!! :)

[Bumble]

soooo how far is this spot from Denver? Will any of you lovely brothers or sisters want to pick up me and a friend? we'll throw you some gas fundage. We're flying into Denver on the 28th-ish i believe. Thanks!

Peace + Love

[drumminmama]

Steamboat proper from Denver is about 4 and a half, five hours working on bad roads.
Spinners up at Strawberry Springs reported snow sifts last weekend.
No Greyhound to Steamboat, last I checked.
Plusses: that part of river drainage drainage system has snow melt, although it's almost gone; Rabbit Ears pass has amzing views, as does St Mary's Glacier (on the way from Denver)
another plus: it's REALLLLLLLLLLY dry near Fairplay.(the original rumour)
However, the entire moutain area is under high fire danger. PLEASE be careful as you travel, even the hot undercarriage of a car can spark a fire.

thats a good question...

Oh ... and is Denver the closest airport?

[kayte]

hey bumble - i'm in the exact same predicament - we're flying in from nyc on the 30th of june... have no idea how we're getting from denver to steamboat, however, i imagine things'll falll into place. can you let me know if you find any travel info out? you can do that private message thing. thanks!

[DancerAnnie]

You all can always hitch hike.

[willow_11]

From the Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce site, 2005:

Yampa Valley Regional Airport located 22 miles west of Steamboat Springs is open year round and accommodates jet service. For summer 2005 Continental Airlines provides daily jet service from Houston, serving nearly 100 cities nationwide. United Airlines provides four operations daily from Denver International Airport.

************************************************** **

Somebody should contact Greyhound about offering charters to Steamboat, letting them know hundreds of paying customers would use the service from now til the 10th of July or so. Bonus: they're a lil more beautiful than usual!

[free2fly]

You all can always hitch hike.
Thats true, Ive thought about that, but truthfully, Im just not comfortable doing that alone..

Sorry to make you c&p. Mozilla and Hippie are having a ~discussion~.

Did the noon meditation to ~remove obstacles~ so the tribes can come home. Anyone wanting to put some energy into that, the meditation is every day at noon in your time zone.

Others are homesick as they know they can't go. They could use comfort energy. All need Safe Travel blessings. That's every noon, in your time zone.

Every Thing Is Magical From Here On Out. Every Thing Has Meaning.

So slow down your dream and recognize. Be Kind To YoursELF!

[shaina]

ya'll should just quit being rude and quit griping if you hate it so much don't go and give other people the chance to experience something they haven't before

[WanderingturnupII]

so why would welcome here send out false directions to a gathering?????
OOH!! OOH!! Pick Me!! Here's a hypothetical situation based on the past behavior of the WelcomeHere folks. Let's say that there's a site, not the Steamboat Springs site, for which an Application for Non-Commercial Group Use Permit has been filed. WelcomeHere gets down wind of this, and tries to get folks to go to the "real" (read "in violation of 36 CFR 251-261") site, for which no ANCGUP has been filed, so as to get so many folks on the "real" site, that USFS won't be able to write enough citations to all of them, and "we" will be able to "get away with" a Gathering that is in violation of 36 CFR 251-261.

WelcomeHere tried this at the Florida Winter Gathering a couple/three years ago. They published dirrections to some "real" site where no one was camped, (I suppose) thinking that some kind of Alternative We Don't Need No Stinking Permit gathering would happen there. What in fact did happen was that folks would come to the site advertised on WelcomeHere, out of gas and broke, and leave to the site where there were, in fact, hippies camped, soon as they could panhandle up gas money.

[Asparagus]

As to those of you looking for a way out of Denver, Im sure there will be plenty of us on their way home who will pick you up. If I see you, I will!!! Try to get on the right road headed to the gathering and good luck.

[free2fly]

Anyone going to be in the Colorado Springs area, on the night of June 26th, or 27th?? anyone passing nearby, by any chance? .......
