This yr indiana rainbow has tried their best 2 have a sorta "pre" holding camp to shawnee. A spot hasn't been found yet 4 it. Their national forest is called hoosier. They had attempted a regional before natls natls as a sorta holding camp for it as well. 2 my delite i noticed for the first time an ohio event held in a place called paddle creek. This was after hoosier & before cumberland in ky then natls. On the map this is almost a trail. I was even more delited when indy fam attempted said regional. The dates 4 indy were 2 be aug 31-sept9th. If a float were 2 be done from vicinity of indy to vicinity of shawne, the dates of this are almost perfect. I say this as it may take a lil while 2 get a float of this magnitude & method 2gether. This yr
1st choice of a site 4 indy fallgathering was salt creek. I was delited 2 learn of interest in lake patoka as 2nd choice. Since there are several camping areas around lake patoka, maybe some are more fam-friendly than others. This particular gig may have boiled down to being a weekend campout. So a site for it could be a bit more flexible.
directions for the sept 28th shawnee regional rainbow gathering will be posted on our facebook page sept 25th, it will be is southeastern illinois. there will be holding camps nearby, but if you want to help with seed camp, we can give you further details
