I have no idea what this is all about, but it takes a curious turn.

2. Gotta love an event whose home page emphasizes "I strongly recommend you go to your court date"

... United States Forest Service Law Enforcement (USFS) Incident Management Team (the cops) attempts to write as many tickets to family coming home as they possibly can to justify their presence. They give out tickets for broken tail lights, failure to use a turn signal in a deserted parking lot at 2 AM, lack of seat belts, controlled substances (even just a trace amount), beads hanging from your rear view mirrors, prescription medications if the label doesn't clearly have your name on it and you can't prove who you are, dogs off leash, a vehicle missing a front license plate even if you live in a state that does not issue a front license plate and a lot more ...

... These are mandatory court appearance tickets. There will be special court dates set up just for us ...

... If you do not show up for your mandatory court appearance on the date indicated on your ticket, a Federal Bench Warrant will be issued for your arrest ...

... I strongly recommend you go to your court date. I have seen people charged with crimes that could potentially result in a six years sentence walk out with a $500 fine and three years’ probation. Keep in mind that every year the dynamic is different and these results may not always be available ...

3. Its a known hazard...

USFS and the locals will go to great lengths to collect money.

Anything to abridged our rights to Gather.

The Feds and locals will set up a small courthouse somewhere, if you do get a ticket, they set a date within two days of the ticket as we disperse quickly to all corners.

That must be quite an event, the primitives gathering rainbows, but for the life of me, I still can't figure out what that is.  Maybe someone else here can.  Gathering rainbows must be illegal, where this is at.

Just to hazard a guess........I'd say it is something like a huge "gay pride" campout, in a National Park somewhere.  Just envisioning such an event makes my skin crawl.

If their previous gatherings are any evidence, they would probably leave the place so filthy it would take a week to clean it up.

I looked it up.  Basically is a big hippy temporary community.  Doesn't appear to have anything to do with homosexuality actually.

Thanks, madam.

Ever since my recent experience with a link kindly provided by the dorkio primitive, I don't do links from Skins's island any more.

Like all gatherings of the democrat base, its main purpose is the buying, selling, and use of illegal substances.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Gathering of rainbows??
BS term for smoke/injest/inject particular chemicals.
DUmmies are a joke on America.
We don't get it, DUmmies.
You're joke isn't even close to FUnny.
It's distructive.

Rainbow Gathering from Wiki.

Quote
Rainbow Gatherings are temporary intentional communities, typically held in outdoor settings, and espousing and practicing ideals of peace, love, harmony, freedom and community, as a consciously expressed alternative to mainstream popular culture, consumerism, capitalism and mass media.
Rainbow Gatherings and the Rainbow Family of Living Light (usually abbreviated to "Rainbow Family") are an expression of a Utopian impulse, combined with bohemianism, hipster and hippie culture, with roots clearly traceable to the 1960's counterculture. [Mainstream society is commonly referred to and viewed as "Babylon", connoting the participants' widely held belief that modern lifestyles and systems of government are unhealthy, unsustainable, exploitative and out of harmony with the natural systems of the planet.

They sure trash whatever land they squat on, that's for sure.  We've had a couple small gatherings in areas that I ride, but I've only seen their camps after they've left.  They first block access to water for wildlife and domestic animals, then they foul the water.  Trample everything in sight, even fragile and protected plants.  Put more wear on primitive roads than would otherwise happen over several years.  The roads, which are vital for fighting fires, then need repair taking resources from other projects.

Typical free-loading, filthy, selfish hippies.

Aren't these the hippie dippy assholes that generally descend on unsuspecting campgrounds like a ****in' flock of vultures, eat, shit, screw, and generally make loud, obnoxious pests of themselves, and rely on their "strength in numbers" to bully campground manager and Park Service type folks into accepting the fact that they are basically STIFFING the campground for it's otherwise due revenues?  Many of them get arrested, they get released on PR bonds, and skip on that, too?


Or am I thinking of some other whacked-out, freeloading hippie conclave...

They blew through here once, several years back. Camped in the Osceola National Forest. I remember seeing a few of them in town and reading a newspaper blurb on it, but the Osceola is about 10-12 miles north of here so we really weren't impacted by them. Hippies hate manual labor so I imagine they leave behind a shithole to be cleaned up by others.
