    Hello All, Sid Here,
    I wanted to chime in on what people were saying about the Hammock and their involvement (or lack of) this year at the Gathering. I think if anyone has any ill feelings towards Dan or Donna for choosing to take a break this year they should do some serious soul searching and realize that maybe your only mad because you might actually have to do some work this year. I realize that without Dan bringing water it won't quite resemble there being a water fountain right there whenever you need a drink. And I realize that without them spending all day doing trash runs it won't have the same feeling of a Waste Management truck doing constant trips picking up after all of us but I think we have all been at Gatherings where people have had to fend for themselves (like the Red Feather Colorado regional of 01) and we got along just fine because it made our instinct of "family values" kick in and there wasn't a cigarette butt anywhere to be found when the last person left.
    You know, in all the posts about what the Hammock is going to do or not do this year I didn't once hear anyone thank them for all they have done for all of us over the years. I for one have been helped time and time again by Dan and Donna and am forever grateful for all they have done for me. We should all be wishing them well on their vacation and not speaking like they have abandoned the Rainbow Family. I know me and the other members of the Rainbow Hammock Tribe that actually spend time at the Hammock all feel the same about Dan and Donna's decision but I can only hope that everyone else will find it in their heart to spend this years Gathering wishing them well and missing them like you would do with any other member of your family that is taking a break. Be Good Family.

    Set Out Running But I'll Take My Time, A Friend Of The Hammock Is A Friend Of Mine,
    Sid -N- Sonya

    I'd love to go to the Ocala gathering and help out, I just don't have a ride there. If anyone near Bastrop Texas is going out towards there it'd be stellar if I could hitch a rideskis. The more people involved in the water packing the smoother things will run. :) lovin' you all

    Its not really about whos new or old to a forum ,but more about whos into networking and sharing information.

    SPeaking of information...i didn't get to go to council b/c i was under the weather, but a friend sent me a message and told me that council was rad and that there was alot of love. Ohh...and that people are working to together so the water crisis is not longer a problem!

    luvin you all!

    Fork-n-Susan will be taking a sit down approach on the side line this year. We have put so much in for so many years. Maybe we just need a brake this year. So we will pay for a safe camping experience at the RHT site. We will come to eat & drum with family! On weekends We love our family! & wish all well much love fork-n-sue

    to those who want to listen
    my name is cowboy i have been goin to ocal for 7 years. i set up for wodstock notion for 4 years then switched to a coffe kitchen then the last two years
    hangout at trade circle becase i was wore out. the only poeple who complained were blissninnyes lazzy or incompetet
    i had to love them because every one in rainbow gets to be and do there ownthing thats the great thing about rainbow.
    about violince in the gathering around ACAMP if you are not there you dont get hit. I pray that there is no violince this year,but i know things happen. i hope that ACAMP is not parked at front gate that shoud be for welcome home.
    for those who do not want an ACAMP there at all shwag on you if you got a bellybutton you are famliy and if you want to hang out in ACAMP do so at own risk. I have a lot of friends in Acamp and i love them all just as i got friends all over the gathering i love them
    if you see something that needs to get done do it yourself or help somone do it. dont just complain we are famliy help out
    love cowboy oger

    And it does not sound good.

    "Note from Flickerfeather As people have report to me from Ocala
    There are 2 holding camps. As of February 5th 2008. Because prior to this year the Local Florida Rainbow Family had co-op with the Forest Service and sign a permit. And this year that did not happen. Because no one has work with the Forest Service with a operating plan prior to this years gathering the Forest Service National Incident
    Management Team Refer to this web address if you don’t understand what they are http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/mbr/news/2006/rainbow.shtml or check at
    Welcome Home : www.welcomehome.org

    Forest Service Harassment :
    For last 4 months they have been harassing anyone that looks like a hippy camping in the Ocala Forest . They have ticket folks for not having proper camping gear .”sleeping in there car etc. , any thing on the books that they can ticket folks they are.
    I cannot give you site because some folks were chased out just prior to council.
    I have been told that even if a permit is sign that because no one contact them in advance prior to the gathering that the Forest Service N.I.M.T. will make life hell for folks coming to the gathering. If you don’t find family at these sites because they have moved somewhere else in Ocala Forest. I only suggest head to Ocala National Forest .

    Duck Pond Site
    which is off 538c which is off paisley rd also called fs69 pasiley rd is off cr42 in the town of paisley. allot of water and people across the lake. Arjay called it the submariner as it sank once

    Syracuse Island site:
    From Florida Interstate Hwy I-75
    I-75 to Hwy 40(Ocala exit), head East into the National Forest . At Hwy 19 make a left and go North. Continue past Salt Springs toward Syracuse
    Right on FS 43 to FS 27 then go right and just keep to the right.

    Syracuse Island is site where we were at 5 years ago.
    From Florida Interstate Hwy I-95
    From Hwy 95 take Hwy 40 West towards the Ocala National Forest. Make a Right turn and go North on 19 towards Salt Springs. Begin looking for FS43 and go right. Take it to FS 27, then just keep right to Syracuse Island.


    Flickerfeather Note: Be ready for anything. If you don’ find anyone at these to location looking like a hippy. Your going to have to find them somewhere in the Ocalal National Forest
    I am reporting both Duck Pond & Syracuse Island untill Feb. 14th hopeful by then the family agree to hold out to a place and perhaps sign a permit or work"

    I have faith in family to get together and get through it together this Ocala . I havent been able to attend for a few years due to personal issues and i miss everyone so much. I've been hearing lots of negative things about this years gathering but i thank all of you that are going into this with a bright and possative outlook, there may be many prodicted problems but i remain confident that it will all work out. I have mixed feelings about people stepping back so much, but i understand, i think that the younger generation deffinatly needs to step up but at the same time needs some guidence from those who have walked that road before.

    love'n you all:rainbow: :rainbow:
