Is it true that the Ocala forest is flooded? I heard it should be "better" by january? Is the gathering still happening?
the ocala forest is a huge place, i am sure by the gathering time things should be just fine. Just A note tho, the ocala gathering has not been an actual rainbow gathering in some time, it is more of a party in the woods.
well......There are actual Rainbow People that go to these gatherings, and there are tribes within the gathering that some other tribes don't like, so they don't come to Ocala, and then say, Well this isn't a reall Rainbow Event, when in fact it is....its just more passionate. I always have a good time.....sometimes *BOOmer
Not flooded I was just there last week.. Last year site 65A is in need of a clean up crew so if your going early this year consider stopping by and help with the mess Jahlee is there and there is some family over at the paid site Shanti pound.. Oh and Buck lake is closed
i was there in 04 and it most certainly was a rainbow gathering! awesome kitchens, wild ecstatic drummin', zuzuu'z, lovin herb shared by lovin' kids. Great vibes, with lot's and lot's of love and welcome homes! wonderful pines and saw palmetto's, Nic at night! what more does a rainbow mama need?
anyone considering going early,, dont... all holding camps are closed.. dunno the exact details,, i just know every road dog that usually winters there has said its a no go this year..
Yeah, I have two friends near there saying it's flooded and don't come. I'm sure gathering will still happen...I hope!
I grew up just outside the ONF and worked there in the Conservation Corps in the late 70s. The hurricanes seasons and fall rains overflow the ponds, lakes and sinks and turn the lowlands into marsh almost every year. Nothing to worry about.
Yeah...and there are many sites besides Buck-O Lake that an early seed camp could maintain....a low profile....HA HA HA So what about the Slab, I always have fun out there.....Alexander springs is sketcy and Lake Mary is about tired of us, (thats why we should move every two weeks) 65-A is not much fun, and Shanti Pond (where the permit was last year) is not viable either.....Big Scrub is a possibility.....but I'd like to see a Gathering that was not on a road, near a road, or all about the road.....*you know* *Boomer The wonderful thing about being a Boomer, if there is such a wonder thing, is....gheesh whats that tigger song......
