Our bus and crew has landed at Farles Lake in Ocala. Drinking water, a shitter(clean) and laid back hunters. Can't really ask for more than that at this time of year. There is a $5 a day parking fee. (per vehicle). Come on down and have a cup of coffee. There is always some on at our bus.
Hello Rainie, Hope this finds you and the family in Good Health & Spirits. I'm still up in snowy Syracuse and will be down in Florida when the Spirit brings me there,but definately sooner than later,as Syracuse winter is not my cup of tea or coffee. Got your messages on my machine,but I need a phone card for long distance calls. Till I get to see you "Happy Trails" and Enjoy Farles Lake,as I was there last year for the Ocala Gathering. So keep in touch and hopefully I'll be around when you call again. Give my Best to everyone, missing you all and looking forward to sharing some coffee with you and the rest of the Family. Love & Peace,AL

Hey now- Joe & Rainie here. We are at Farles Lake, as reported earlier. There are about 12 of us 'family' persons of Rainbow influence there. Apparently, there is another holding camp at Shanty Pond, with about 20-25 people. Heard that from Raven & Sharon who came out to bring some joy to the woods (thanks again Sharon & Raven) . Pastor Chris from LOGOS is bringing out food today to both locations , since my bus became a kitchen cause all the blissware-less Rainbozos at Farles had NOTHING. Not even the proverbial pot to ...... in. Anyways, the rumor mill has the Forest Service wanting us at Shanty Pond (Salt Springs ) where we were a few years back. Not too fond of that site, for mainly parking reasons, and the road there from the pavement turned into a mudhole with only a little rain the last time we were there. Clay. Need I explain ? Anyways, also- grist-mill rumors, ( this one heard from a forest worker, not ranger, by myself Tattoo Joe) that they want a permit signer, that the forest workers were highly pissed at us cause of the mess left at Back Gate (Farles Lake) last year. Those are the guys and gals who keep the woods clean- Not the Rangers, and it seems to me that if we ( as a group " we " ) piss off them, the s**t is going to flow uphill and affect the way the forest personel ( read RANGERS ) treat us- from the get-go this year. I will state again to all the weekend rainbow 'warriors' . PLEASE TAKE A BAG OF TRASH OUT TO BABYLON WITH YOU _ EVERYTIME YOU LEAVE THE GATHERING! Simple, effective, and most all- responsible. Anyways, I didn't mean to start a prolonged babble-on this page, just happened. I just wanted to say whats up to all and keep the site updated as to ACTUAL conditions in Ocala. So far they are good where we are, the hunters are wary of the bus, but we have three kids who play with their kids and it seems more casual now- 4 days later, they nod hello now, as opposed to the complete ignoring going on when we first showed up. Stay Cool and peaceful- Joe & Raine Al & Turnup- Our number is on our business card, call us. Turnup- I lost yer number, PLEASE call.
