Updates from the Site June 14

Hi all,

Here are the updates I have collected over the last two days in nor particular order and copied and pasted as I have collected them.

*******************************************

News from the land: Please be careful digging near the Old Oak Trees -- they are sensitive and with all the moisture very

susceptible to a disease. Please do not dig shitters, dump grey water nor compost, nor disturb the ROOTS --- I speak for

the TREES and PLEASE SHARE>>>>.

Thank you folks on the land. The site is beautiful and many are working hard to build the village'. Dogs are mostly leashed, cars are parking as directed, locals are visiting and very curious and friendly, cops and biologists are visiting, Ahoums (Ohmmm, Aum) are happening, all systems are go.....

Heard about the Rainbow Gathering on WOJB radio this morning, 89.9 FM. That is a native owned, community radio station very near to the gathering site. They are interested and hoping to learn and share more.

Greetings Kitchens of Rainbow!

Even though we will be pumping and filtering a lot of water, due the the topography of the site there is a good chance that your kitchen will have to make water runs to the places where filtered water is delivered to.

Be sure to bring many 5 gallon water jugs and consider brining a deer cart, dolly or wagon!

Just to inform you all, its bear dog training season and the Gathering spot is a very popular place for bear hunters. They've already been baiting bears there for a month (and therefore have a lot of time and money invested). Be prepared to have contact with bears and or bear hunters. I live within walking distance of the Gathering and had a bear on my surveillance camera last night.

There is a famous bear...a 3 legged momma that Delta loves. She has 4 large cubs that are 2 years old. They literally hang out at the intersection of Scenic Drive and Canthook Lake. We're setting up shop in the most heavily populated bear population of Wisconsin. That goes for wolves too but they'll stay away.

I fish Canthook Lake all the time and am very familiar with the woods in the area.

I look forward to comments that avoid racist, sexist, homophobic, and/or other 'ism' language that does not advocate violence.

Getting into the gathering without getting a mandatory court appearance ticket

Every year the 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 violations of the letter of the law. You do not want to go to Kangaroo Court However, these tickets are not the type of citation you would probably receive for any of these issues in your hometown. These are Federal mandatory court appearance tickets. There will be special cour
