IL regional gathering 2006? (Shawnee??)

I heard of a rumor of a IL regional gathering this year in Shawnee. Anybody else heard about this or know any info?
I have been searching and havn't found much.

Thank you in advance.

 

www.welcomehome.org or www.welcomehere.org has listings of regionals. Blessings!

 

first week of Oct., see ya there.

 

you meen?? theres a gathering in shawnee??

no shit??

wow an here all these years we thought it was a rumor mill..

luv n light.

 

damn i'll be in school at that time. have fun!

 

i looked on alot of the sites and didnt see anything about a gathering in shawnee, i would love some more info if anyone has it!

 

Same- I havn't been able to find much.
So if anyone can actually find info and post it....maybe do a little more than ridicule me (Hippyhillbilly) that would be a lot of help.

 

i aint ridiculing anyone..

shawnee is shawnee,,..

if they want ya to know,, youll know..


an yes shawnee is a annual regional...

love n light

 

Ummm...Yeah...My Lady and I plan on being there, lots of folks might well be there who need to have my kid shown off to 'em, southern IL only 4-5 hrs from here...If I find that it would not be politic to post dirrections, I should at least be able to send them out via private email...

 

I'll be in Peoria and randomly in Champaign and Bloomington/Normal, so if anyone's going that way or near there, PM me because I would love to go.

 

This Human wonders why a goddess needs a ride? Can't those divine types summon up a charriot pulled by magic mice, or something? And they don't have to worry about cops, 'cause they can turn 'em into newts if one of 'em tries to search that charriot....ummm.....would you mind carrying a couple small items for me?

 

i think godesses must travel incognito , and refrain from overly demonstrative superhuman feats . so they probly gots to take trains n planes n busses .....or go git them a ride in a car car .cause ive met some of em and they seemed to have the same travel problems as the rest of us peeps . anyhoo , ive got some friends down there in the normal area , as well as chicago . it would be cool to incorporate a visit with checking out the gathering .

 

i remember being informed at my one Shawnee experience that that particular gathering is an exception to the Rainbow minimal-impact ethos in that it happens at the same location every early october. if memory serves, its all happens on a NF pond, down some bumpy dirtroad south of Carbondale. If you're serious about being there, check archives or else wait for more info when the date comes closer.

 

PS. you also might do a google on Cavestock, a local music festival near the Shawnee gathering. its quite a pretty venue.

 

See, makno knows whats he's talking about.

 

Only Shawnee I attended was back in...'96? Yeah, I think that was it, 'cause I wintered in Cinci after, then went to the '97 Battle of Ocala, when the cops went so far out of line that we took them to court and actually won...Anyhoo, I got to Shawnee late, and immediately was laid down with the flu, or something equally evil, for the next week. When I was finally healthy enough to get out of my tent, it was early clean up, so I was there, but not really there...South of Carbondale, yeah, don't know how often RFOLL used the site, but there had been heavy local use, trails worn down about waist deep in places...Remember a river or creek instead of a pond, and caves...Dates I'm hearing for this year are last weekend in Sept-first weekend in Oct, but I believe '96 Shawnee was later, more like early-mid Oct? Back in the late 90s that regional had a really rough reputation, kind of like rumors one hears these days about the FL winter gathering. If the cops don't get you, A-Camp will...think it got really small, almost died out for a few years late 90s-early-00s...And that's just about all I know.

 

My Family and i are looking forward to the Shawnee gathering.We will set up Jodys Coffntea and roses chocolate for every one.(AKA-JODYS Camp and co)We love every one.Eaven if you dont have a belly button.Peace and love to all.Be Kind-----------Jodys Camp and co.....see you there

 

i'm not certain...but ithink alotta regionals that happen every year..like shawne & ocala ..arent listed too far in advance, if at all, ..either cause they dont want em getting too huge & crazy..or..theres no real prior planning &they just happen cause they've always happened

 

howdy. I'm a shawnee local. I've heard that some advance folks were at a holding camp out near blessing hill (by the spillway from little cedar lake to cedar lake - the site of the 2004 regional) for a couple of weeks until last weekend.


I've heard that some road-dogs, a-campers, fat kids & elements of shut up and eat it moved a holding camp to whiskey ridge this week, but I haven't been out myself.

I also googled this AM and found directions to a holding camp near pomona but can't find those googling this evening. Those directions, approx, were: Illinois 127 to Pomona Road. Right at the T. 50 feet and turn left. This was basically followed by 2 rights and a left (going toward Jeruselem? Hill Baptist Church or somesuch). Very pretty country back in there. Some of it very fragile with endangered species. Please tread softly.

I see traces online of a number of intentions to visit Shawnee this year and have even had a few phone calls from folks looking for the holding camp(s).

My gut tells me there are rainbows in the woods in Shawnee in multiple locations. If intent on finding hippies in the woods, I'd make for Whiskey Ridge (prolly find directions at welcomehome from past gathers). Hopefully folks on the land will consense on a site in a week or so and info will be posted online @ alt gathering rainbow and/or welcome here. I'm workin' babylonian big-time this year, but would still love to visit "home" on some daze off.

Peace & Love
