Howdy Folks! Here are the directions to the Oregon Regional Harvest fest Rainbow Gathering. From Medford Oregon head west on E Main St toward OR-99/N Riverside Ave 4.0?mi, turn left at OR-238 9.3?mi this puts you in Ruch. This has a very friendly little grocery that will be your last chance for groceries before getting to the gathering so stock up and be friendly to them as well. No loitering at the store and no spare changing or shoplifting here please!! We have a good working relationship with these folks and would like to keep it so. They will have further directions if you lose these.Next head to Mckee Bridge. Head south on Upper Applegate Rd toward Whispering Pines Ln 4.4?mi then a slight right to stay on Upper Applegate Rd 4.3?mi. There is a little store here but they are not rainbow friendly. There is a bathroom in the park across from the store but no overnight parking here so if you have made it this far, come on home, don?t hang out here. We had some problems with some Drainbows that got stuck here a couple of yrs ago that left a bad taste in a few peoples mouths so I will reiterate, do not hang out here!! From Mckee bridge keep going straight until you hit Beaver Creek road on the left. Turn left at Beaver Creek Rd which becomes NFD 20 Rd/Siskiyou Summit Rd Continue to follow NFD 20 Rd for 10.8?mi there will be a slight left to stay on NFD 20 Rd for another 3.3?mi then NFD 20 Rd turns slightly left and becomes NFD 2025 Rd 2.0?mi then a slight right to stay on NFD 2025 Rd 0.7?mi turn right at Rogue River National Forest 300 75?ft. there will be rocks and markers to mark this turn as it is the second five point that you will encounter. There is a little island there, kind of a turn around. Follow the markers for a short distance. Welcome Home!! We Love you!!Please remember? it is colder and can be rainy this time of year here so be prepared with rain gear and extra blankets and tarps, etc. Please bring water, food to share , good vibes, and be kind to your dogs and leave them at home. We will be gathering from Oct 26th to? Nov 10th. We love you ! ignore all rumors of cancellation. Contact River for further information at 541-899-3259
oh man... it's gettin' late for me here in oregon.... (contemplates if he has time to get back into the woods again...) LostDazedInTime... you're not at Elk Creek Gardens are ya??? p.s. How man oregon regionals are there in one year? (mostly retorical) I may never leave...
Oh, how I very much want to be there! I will, it's only three and some hours, though we'll see for how long... depends on if they fire me at this job or not.
I'm hoping the sis who sent out the howdy folks will post directions from the south. But I know how those mountains are. "You can't get there from here".
awww... that's my neck of the woods out in oregon, river is my old neighbor... That lil' store you mentioned before is the mckee bridge restaurant... and yeah I was there when said drainbows parked there... owners are mos-def NOT rainbow friendly... haha.. and if you've made it that far the gathering is only a lil' bit further down the road.... rainbow gatherings are actually encouraged by the park rangers out there.... Well anyone heading out there tell the ruch/applegate folks **esp. ally/sam/azur/ward/bridget/jazzy jess/etc..Amber says what's up?? There are some AWESOME camping spots out there... we camped out in nat. forest by o'brien creek for the better part of a summer. piece, Amber
