You may have heard that the road into the Rainbow Gathering has been closed by the Forest Service and it has been, but all is pretty well and all should continue to travel HOME. Read below for important info on where to park and regarding shuttles.
LATEST INFO AS OF 12:20AM ON MORNING OF JULY 2ND:
FOREST SERVICE ROAD 10 aka BROOKLYN ROAD CURRENTLY HAS A LARGE SECTION THAT IS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC UNTIL JULY 5TH.
THIS SECTION INCLUDES THE MAIN GATE (trail head) INTO THE GATHERING.

But know that things are working out and you should continue to COME HOME.
*****
Forest Service Road 10, aka Brooklyn Road has a large closed section on EACH side of the Main Trail Gate (this is the trail head into the Gathering, past which there are no cars, and where you must start walking). This closed section of road does NOT extend all the way to Danby/Mt. Tabor on one end of the road, nor does it extend all the way to Londonderry/Landgrove the other direction. Only part way.

You can still approach the Gathering from either town, Danby or Londonderry and park along Forest Service Road 10.
RAINBOW has been given FOUR SHUTTLE PASSES by the Forest Service. That means that four of our Rainbow vehicles can act as shuttle when there are volunteers to drive the trucks/vans. These shuttle drivers are allowed to drive on the closed section of road all the way to the Main Gate, and can drop you off at the trail head.
The available parking area along Forest Service Road 10 from Danby is reaching capacity and there will be no place left to park "soon". Not sure when that means. If you approach the Gathering from the Londonderry/Landgrove side, you will find much plentiful parking. Park where you can and start looking for, and asking about shuttles. PARK AS FAR OFF THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE WITH ALL CARS ON THE SAME SIDE.
PLEASE GIVE OLDER FOLK, FAMILIES WITH KIDS AND ESPECIALLY THE DISABLED first crack at the shuttle.
BRING BIKES OR WAGONS.
COME HOME.
and WELCOME HOME!!

ReplyDeleteThe Vision Council is seldom done in a day or two. In fact it has been known to go on for days on end. The first day alone is normally where most people who chose to speak are passing along their heart song in which a vision of theirs may be passed along. If patients is a virtue then it will be the virtuous that will be present when the council reaches a consensus. That isn’t to say it won’t happen soon as the VC can surprise you and come to a consensus by the end of the day.
