Since scouts are gathering in the Monongahala (sp?) national forest in West Virginia for a pre-Spring council gathering and they no longer have the resources to find new sites, it is very likely that the national will be in the old west virginia national site in the Monongahala national forest. Just a guess tho.
O.K. i admit it,, i heard this 3 days ago,,, course i heard more than this,, but you take this for what ya will,, i dont post rumors,, but i will post what others post as fact....An i know hawker an know he is a straight up brother.. Posted by hawker on the circle.. "Hey Now!, This just in. Apparently, Spring Council isn't starting until June 1st and these directions are to the rendezvous location, not the spring council site. When step two of this plans in unveiled, I'll pass it on. If you are planning on coming, please do not overload the local community. The first family home will create good or bad impressions on the local community - please be on your peace-loving best. If you see folks hitch hiking, please pick them up and take them on the rendezvous and/or Spring Council. Please treat the locals as you want to be treated in your own home when guests come over. Just a quick reminder about Spring Council. Sometimes it happens 20 miles from one of the better potential site locations, sometimes it's 200 miles. Spring council will (hopefully) reach a consensus on which of the available sites will best suite the family as a whole. Generally it takes two days to a week for Spring Council to reach consensus on the gathering site. If you're flying in, plan on an airport in the general area. The east coast has short distances, so within 200 miles of the Spring Council Rendezvous site, I see Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC. as the two major airports. But don't take my word for it, look it up on the map. *****************************FORWARDED MESSAGE********************************* On another note I think we were all expecting something this weekend, but note these directions start the 1st and no one will be present till late Saturday. The directions are not the site for council but a meeting point for more info. The scouts were not ready to give more info till the 1st. Regardless of what was posted about council weekend, my memory at Acorn for Thanksgiving council was we TRIED to get consciousness for Memorial day but it never happened (nor was it blocked, we just ran out of time). Hawker" ---------------------- >From Elkins WV. Take 33/55 east for about 4 miles. Take a left onto old Route 33 and go 1.9 miles through 2 big stone pillars. You are now entering Monongahela National Forest. Make the 1st left towards Stuart and Bickle Knob on forest road 6. Go approximately 7.8 miles and cross a bridge over creek. There will be a camping area immediately on left before crossing bridge over Shavers River with info on additional camping. This location is not the site or the council area, just a meeting area with more information. The scouts do not expect to start counseling until the 1st and will not be present until the evening of the 28th (Saturday) at the earliest. Please respect the scene and the town who are our gracious and unknowing hosts. Please no panhandling in town. *******************END FORWARDED MESSAGE********************************* For general gathering information, visit: http://welcomehere.org/cgi-bin/calendar.pl or http://welcomehome.org
I just had a good laugh imagining myself flying into Ronald Raygun International Airport or whatever it's called for a Rainbow Gathering. How's the dumpster diving in D.C?
Here's the latest "rumor" from welcomehere.org: The Annual Rainbow Gathering for Peace and Healing will assemble peacefully in West Virginia in the Monongahela National Forest somewhere in the vicinity of the town of Elkins. Since several sites in the same area are still being considered, the exact distance of the site from Elkins is still unclear. Please check back for more details.
You can also check www.welcomehome.org and numberous other lightlines (man, we really need to print a list of Rainbow info sources, so we can post them where needed; can some else do it this time please )
Ok....just to let ya'll know www.welcomehome.org doesn't have alot of "current" info...only thing i could find was about last year
