I just got phone call that Little Hawk arrived at Shanty Pond. This is The Raven. A-Camp will have the BAR again & the front gate will have Little Hawk. If you don't like it "STAY AWAY." A-Camp has been around longer than most of those who complain about it. Take away A-Camp at the Ocala gathering and the rednecks (who really hate hippies) will come in and terrorize you. The LEO's & Marion County Sheriff haven't had to call the EMT's or take anybody out who was beaten n bloody in a couple of years. IN-YOUR-NECK!!!
The Bar worked well last year. Intoxicated people hung out there and didn't bother folks who didn't want to be bothered by intoxicated people. A-camp is Family too. However, we need a sober front gate again. Intoxicated people have bad judgment as to who is a threat and who is not. Shanti Sena movies require de-escalation, not beer-inspired violence. Wanna work gate or shanti sena? Hit the wagon. Need a drink? The Bar's always open. The safety of the Family depends upon it.
is there going to be a backdoor into the Ocala gathering? apparently i'm suppose to appreciate the A campers for protecting me from the evil rednecks but truth be told i'd rather avoid the whole A Camp scene if possible. Thanx for any info.
hummm a truck load of 10 rednecks......... 25,000 rainbowfolks..... hummm Let em in, not seeing the problem here..... Mike....
Little Hawk did quite well "protecting the Family" last year...from his jail cell. Geographicly, Handy Dan was at the Front Gate. Most people who parked at that Maine Trail (southern?) end of the site parked on the other side of Dan's and the Trailhead from where Little Hawk would have been, had he not been in jail. And most people at the gathering parked on the back gate (north?) side of the lake. I don't believe anyone was camped at back gate. Little Hawk's Corner was a "Front Gate" for the Bar, and Luke's place, and that's about it. I doubt if most of the people who came into that site, whether they were rednecks who hate us, or undercover snitches, or child predators. or frilly hippies, even saw them. Except for Cornbread, who also spent the gathering in jail, most of the rest of the Usual Front Gate Drunken Thugs were noticably absent. And I got to take care of my pregnant woman, spend lots of time with Luke at his last gathering, and be an assistant water boy. I hope the geography of this year's site makes something like that possible this year, even if the whole tribe of Drunken Thugs should show up, and neither A-Camp nor the Gun Clan of the Funny Green Suit Tribe shows up to keep 'em in line.
ha ha ha...... ya I guess I must have been on something.. thinkin of nationals.... but at any rate how many show up for the Ocala shindig???
Been going since 86 and i make it a point to see littlehawk, he is there. today is the last day of hunting season in these woods & kids will start to disperse tomorrow to 65-a, the kids that have a season camping pass are gona stay untill the 14th(End of huntcamp). im seeing a lot of new faces an lovin it, good vibes and good spirits are all arround.I really hope to see all of you there there have been a few citations handed out dogs on leash Trash laying arround & unatended fires and food, showing us they mean buisiness( all ticketed by same guy),the camp host refuses to ride with him cus of this.
But I don't think there's been half that many the past 5 years. I look at the Ocala shindig as a (roughly) 1/10 scale model of a Gathering
i love my fam, bless a camp, i wish folks would see the postive behind them, they protect us at night.
Luke, who's ashes were set free to the wind-n-road at A-Camp July 1st 2006, had the idea that in every town you have drunks. In every town you have a local bar for the drunks. At the Ocala Gathering we equal or out populate the local towns. So why not stop complaining about A-Camp and just let the BAR open...It will work as long as it's going to be... ACCEPT-UNDERSTAND-LIVE WITH IT!!!
Yes, Raven, y'all will be there this year. Are you saying it will be a bad thing if lots of people don't notice that, like they didn't notice you last year? Trying to drum up buisness? You know I'd stop by for a beer or three, if I wasn't busy baby-raisin'...
I hope to be able to kick down somthing to little hawk and his bar.We need A-Camp.With out them, Hutting season for hippie's would be open for the red necks.And Calls of 6 up starts at frount gate.Wood Stock had Hells Angels for protection we have A-Camp.Peace and love to all--Jody's Camp and Co
I'm wondering how many Little Hawk bashers have sat and listened to the wisdom he has to impart. He walks the red path and has so much love. Sometimes he teaches hard lessons and will not put up with disrespect. I was proud when he gave me and Shaggy blessings. If anyone reading this talks to him send him love from Shaggy and Tish. Speaking of my mate, if I had stayed away from A camp like I was told to, we would not have met. Together we fly, together we grow. He used to get a little out of hand Agro wise, but with the love that we share he has found his balance. And I don't care wht anyone says it's good to know if need be he has the ability and doggyness to take care of any threat. The problem is not with A camp, it's with those who look down upon us. You want to find Shaggy and Sweetpea at a gathering check A camp, that's where we'll be.
:beatdeadh Ah, Spiccoli !!!! You gots to be the mama using her 2 small kids to spange at Shanty's front gate & who left ocala with him few years ago. I've spent years camping with the both of them. You've got a few years to learn yet mama. But truly, Good luck with Spiccoli. PR Ocala WILL be good this year it seems! :daisy: "NOT Every beginner will become an expert" :rainbow:
Not that I've seen much Little Hawk bashing going on here but I do have to ask, exactly how long have you been doing Rainbow? Lessons to learn from LH...maybe to mark the white gas Will not put up with disrespect but he sure can be disrespectful to others. Little Hawk is who he is & I would never expect him to act like anyone other than himself but asking me if I've listened to his wisdom??? That's asking a bit much from someone who has known such strong A-camp Brothers as K.D. & Lobo (who kept the scene cool at the TTT camp for many a year, hard job to promote Rainbow values in Babylon). Sure Little Hawk can rap the rap real well first thing in the day, quite a few A-campers can; but in the years that Little Hawk has made himself a self-appointed high holie there's been more complaints about A-camp than ever before. A-camp does have a difficult job to do & they do it well but I miss the days when Sheriff Dusty and all were keeping the gate.... C
