Check your Facts, Guru. "The Buck Lake Recreation Area on the Ocala National Forest has been closed due to high water levels. Water levels have risen since the partial closure and caused additional resource damage. Officials will reopen the campground as soon as travel conditions improve. The Hopkins Prairie Recreation Area on the Ocala National Forest has been closed due to high water levels. Officials will reopen the campground as soon as the risk of resource damage has been reduced. The Big Scrub Recreation Area on the Ocala National Forest now has designated sites. Each site offers a fire ring and picnic table. Fees are still charged per vehicle, not per site." From http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/florida/recreation/
there are kids in ocala nf now - if you're in the loop you can find them. however, i do hear that all the squats from years past are closed to camping or converted to pay campsites, like lake mary and buck lake, to discourage the large number of people usually wintering over. i've only heard of low-key smaller kitchens being set up. i have also heard that key west has been kicking the hippies out too. what florida family and friends fail to remember is there are lots of other forests in florida that may not be quite as burned out on tolerating (or hosting) our constitutionally supported annual migration of free-spirited hunter/gatherers and spiritual seekers. lets think outside the box (or ocala). we've always been good at that.
hmm..2001...maybe..acyualy, maybe not..no...i dont think so..unless ya saw me there..then maybe i was & forgot what year did ocala start really going downlhill? i know during the 90's it wasstill pretty cool i might still go this year, but if i can find another warm 1 to get to mid winter, i wouldnt mind skipping ocala but ya never know..i usualy dont know what i'm doin till i'm actualy doin it.. and chime...ya look very very familiar..i know i['ve seen u round sis..maybe even everywhere i go..\ i dunno tho seems like more then just seein ya..did we do a sweat together in..ummm..shasta? or maybe silent tipi in taos? i dunno my memory is crazy..i mighve seen ya on the street yesterday but still remember ya from a gathering 12 years ago i'm not even sure i was at
There used to be a small Mississippi gather down near the coast, but I always thought it stopped happening. But people tell me it still goes on in January, and its only about 10 miles from my house!! But I dont know exactly where to go, so if anyone knows some specifics on Missinghippie gather in Desoto forest, let me know.
