Only recently have I found the Rainbows, and it seems like a definite future "home" for me. I grew up in Colorado, and when I read the past Gathering was held there I was anxious to see pics. I was expecting to find pics of peace, love, maybe some music? But to my suprise I saw pigs running around, beating up hippies. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

" When large numbers of people started showing up in Colorado for the gathering in June, 1972, Governor John Love had- the roads blockaded into the gathering site. People started hiking across the mountains to the site - a three day hike. Finally 4,000 people stood in front of the road block asking to be let into the gathering. The road block yielded - the people walked eight miles up the road to the gathering site. By July 4, there were 20,000 people at the gathering. Before daybreak on July 4, several thousand of these people walked to Table Mountain, seven miles from the site. They walked to the top of the mountain and made a gigantic silent circle until the afternoon, praying and meditating for world peace."


the more things change the more they stay the same,

No I was talking about the '06 gathering....it looked like a riot scene, with smoke all around. Or are they false pictures? I got the link from a post on this site, I'll try and find it again.
PEACE
