(Un)Official Directions to Gathering from AGR

Got this this morning. Word is out. Here are directions to the Gathering site, got this from hawker on the agr::


Howdy Folks.

The folks on the land have called and asked that the site info be released now.

So....

This year the 2005 National Rainbow Gathering will be in the Mid Atlantic
states, just east of Elkins West Virginia in the Monogahela National Forest.

Directions:
From Elkins, WV take 33 east past Bowden to Alpena (approx.13 mi). At the
Alpena Lodge & Cafe (the only thing there) take a left (north) up County
Rd. 12, also known as Galdwin Rd and CR26 in some areas. CR12 goes thru the
countryside and dives down toward the Glady Fork (approx 5 mi). At the
bottom of the hill, just before CR12 crosses the Glady Fork River & turns
into CR10-Sully Rd, take a hard (120%) left on to FR 162, which is Bus
Village. Go to the gated end of Bus Village (FR162). Just beyond the gate
is a meadow on the left. At the back right of this meadow is Easy Street, a
gentle grassy ancient railroad bed, which goes off to the left. Follow Easy
Street up to Main Trail and take a right to Main Circle, which is the third
meadow on the trail.

From the East, from Harrisonburg, VA take 33 west into Wavy past Franklin,
WV and Seneca rocks. Stay on US 33 past Wymer to Alpena, take a right on
CR12 and follow the above.

Site info.
Be careful. There is no permit and as such the LEOs are playing hardball
last night (Monday the 13th). Apparently they stormed the holding camps
last night and gave several hundred tickets all with a mandatory court
appearance on the 28th of June. For this reason folks on the land wanted
this info out ASAP with as many people showing up now as possible to help
strengthen the hold of the site. This might be the type of hard ball
tactics the FEDs are resorting to this year.

 

alas I will be at sea

 

No permit this year. I am glad. At least this way we're not building a lie. It is more difficult. But we defend our right to be on the land that belongs to noone without needing anyone's permission. We're not hurting anyone. It is hard for those on the front lines, though. My thanks.
