If you're looking for a ride or have a ride to share, lots
of people are using craigslist.org this year. Check it out - look
for your departure destination or any major stop along the way.
And don't forget kindrideshare.net

Also, no one is left at the Salt Fork Site. Summer Breeze is broke
down in Fort Smith. Sailor is in the hospital in Clarksville. Kid Village
is at Fallsville where family has united. Keep the faith. Come home.

So Jay PXXXs (a reliable source) sent this out this morning and I'm
passing it on.





*****BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE******************


Howdy folks,

come on down to the National Gathering in Fallsville, Arkansas. From
east or west take I-40 to Clarksville Arkansas. There are three exits
at Clarksville, look for the Hwy.21 exit. Go north on 21 into
Clarksville. The Creek Festival is this weekend in Clarksville, lots
of tourists and bikes. Drive slow in town. Follow Hwy. 21 right at
light downtown, about a mile east on Hwy.64/21N. Hwy. 21 leaves Hwy.64
and goes north into the mountains. You will climb about 2000 ft to get
to Fallsville on Hwy.21, it is crooked but a very good Hwy. Fallsville
is 28 miles north of Clarksville. At Fallsville you will come to a
fork in the Hwy. or a "Y" in the Hwy. This is the Jct. of Hwy.16 and
there is the Fallsville Gas Station and tiny store. Very kind locals
run the store and should be greeted warmly and with much love and
gratitude.

Here you will find lots of cops. The road into the site is to the
right of the store 1 3/4 miles. It is the 2nd dirt road on the left.
Just past an old cemetery. Just before the 2nd road you will see the
"Six-Up" Kitchen on the right side of Hwy.21. Just past this police
"Base Camp" turn left into the USFS road block/welcome home. I went in
about 5:00pm and they only checked drivers license of drivers in
vehicle and visual search for open containers. $75.00 fine for open
containers. The Feds are being cool and pretty nice. I got through
quickly. They do have drug dogs so be prepared. If you look like a
problem, they will search you.

A camp is a few hundred feet further. All buses and campers park there
or where ever Fast Eddie says to park. The road down to the river is
windy and steep, but a good road. You can park anywhere you can get
all 4 tires off the road. Parking is tight and the road is lined with
cars and hard to turn around on. If your vehicle is big, or not good
on steep roads then park up top and shuttle/walk in. Road meets the
main trail at the bottom but actually crosses the Buffalo River next
to the family bridge. No one should cross the river. If you don't see
parking, turn around carefully and go back up. I highly recommend
parking up top. We need to keep the road open for supply, etc.

There is an excellent Kitchen at the beginning of Main Trail called
Crispy Critter Cafe. You can soak in the cool waters of the Buffalo
about fifty yards away. The best kitchen so far is Shut-Up &Eat It.
Also I recommend the A.R.F kitchen Arkansas Rainbow Family from
Fayetteville. I saw Tea Time, Kiddy-Village, PPK, Phat Camp and at
least two dozen kitchens. There is lots of water but you should boil
or filter it. There are springs everywhere down here and easy to tap
for a kitchen. Main trail is level and wide, curving through a dense
forest along the Buffalo valley for a couple of miles.

This is a true forest gathering. No meadows being found nearby.
However it is a very beautiful and wild place in the wilderness of the
upper headwaters of the Buffalo. Lots of swimming and plenty of
camping room, it's just deep forest and you must be prepared for the
poison ivy and slippery spots along the trails. No big hills except on
the road in. The road was improved with a bulldozer and trucks of
gravel by the USFS just for the family. Main trail is a little muddy
but even after a huge rain today, about 2 inches of rain fell in about
an hour, the trail was still easy to negotiate, even in the dark. One
thing about all the rain and the dense forest, there is Fox-Fire
everywhere. (Phosphorescent wood that glows in the dark).

Bring small flashlights and batteries, candles, torches, etc. The
forest is very dark at night. Send food stuff, tobacco, and kind
energy. We drove out at about 1:30am and didn't see one single USFS or
Cop anywhere.

Ignore all rumors of cancellation and "alternate sites". There are
about one to two thousand folks there already.

Peace, Love, and Light!
