River Forest,Lake Dorr,Buck Lake,Clearwarter Lake,Wildcat Lake,Salt Springs,Fore Lake,Juniper Springs,Lake Eaton,Mill Dam, or stop for a refreshing dip in Hidden Pond,Set up camp along the breezy edge of Hopkins Prairie.The 8-mile section through the Juniper Prairie Wilderness is one of the most beautiful and secluded pieces of the Florida National Scenic Trail.Birders can look and listen for the chatter of Florida scrub-jays and the calls of rufous-sided towhees.

Is not a good example of hippies. There is alot of road trash there
.
BE CAREFUL

 

thats been the case some years, last year was totaly beautiful
and no matter what even at ots worse, the rainbow spirit was there if u looked beyond the agro kids
i have high hopes this years wil be even better then last years and will get back to the way it was back a few years
tryin to scare off kids goin for the rainbow experience just scares off everyone whod make it a good gathering and ensures only agro a-camp dare set foot in such a horrible place :rolleyes5

srry we're goin and we'll make it the best gatherin we can

 

i'm gunna need a reminder. i'm DYING to go. haven't been to any cool gatherings in YEARS!

 

i'll remind ya


wondering off topic..can all the ocala threads be merged?

 

There's a whole lot of people who shwagg on Ocala. For years I heard bad stories and people warning others to stay away from Ocala, but I also heard good stuff from time to time. Last spring I decided to see for myself and went to Ocala '06. I went there with an open mind but, I have to admit, the Ocala reputation made me a bit cautious. I was there for about ten days and from the time I got there until the time I left, everything was awesome. I saw some old friends, made some new friends, hauled a lot of water, chopped a lot of wood, and ate many zuzu's.
As far as I know, Ocala is cool. It was fun as hell last spring, anyway. It was one of the nicest gatherings I've been to in a while, really.

 

Is anyone from northeastern KY or western WV going to Ocala?

 

we'll be headed down 95 from philly
if that ges near
but then again not really sure how im gettin there just know im goin

 

damn it! I'll be in school. well have fun! Pete, why don't you fly down to FL? it's cheaper that way because you'll pay more in gas alone.

 

well dammn bumble
that sux
umm how much is it to fly down?
seems like less hassle to drive
and if we stuff a van it shouldnt be all that much

 

Aww man, I want to go so bad, I just don't if I'll have anyone to go with At least I know I'm going to the summer one (well, 85% sure )

Do people get school off Valentine's week at all? I don't think they do..

 

umm no i dont think so...

but you'll make it to national..and if thats your 1st i think you'll love the national
you'll be totaly mindboggled for months

 

Yeah, it's my first. I can't wait, it'll be an experience to remember and hopefully I'll become a regular at them

 

your 1st will be a lifechanging experience
and yea you'll definately wanna come back over and over

and you'll wanna give me a ride to every 1

 

it's like $60 round trip through airtran.

 

Doesnt it suck, having to go to school? Haha, I know the feeling... Usually, ocalla is a gathering I miss, because all my life, all the bad rainbow stories Ive heard start with, "This one time, in Ocalla"... So, personally, I wont go. Florida scares me. But with the bad comes the good as well, I know many brothers and sisters who have had no problems there. My words of wisdom are just, be careful family.
