our rights are being snatched right out from under our noses, the rainbow gathering in colorado has been surrounded by police who are attempting and sucedeing to arrest people coming in and out without just cause

The rainbow gathering is being swarmed by pigs and we need all the good people we can find. Our rights are being trampled and we must take a stand, every willing and able person pleace come to the aid of our fellow brothers and sisters, do not allow the police to shut down a peaceful tradition. Please, make haste to steamboat springs, and bring your hearts with you, as we need all the support we can get.

Well, after a rough Friday in kangaroo court that went until 10pm, on
Saturday things seemed to change overnight. The LEOs have decided not to
ticket anymore and have been pretty quiet all weekend. I have seen no
roadblocks sinced Friday. They are running the occasional license plate in
the parking lot, but nothing out of the ordinary.

The vibe here is that we have won. There was no permit signed, and the
gathering is coming together very nicely. Overnight, the vibe changed and
there is a lot of love and good energy pouring in. Kitchens are up and are
allowed to have fires, although there is currently a fire ban for personal
fires (it's pretty dry up here).

So, for all those who are wondering whether or not to come home, I would
say, COME HOME!!! Turtle Soup has a beautiful spring tap with gravity
filter--an unlimited supply of clean water for folks. The Ovens, Musical
Veggie, Instant Soup, and many others are up and running and Dinner Circle
is being served.

The site is beautiful and large--kitchens are spread out, there are multiple
springs, and plenty of room. Communications are good on the site as well.
Parking is the only downfall of the site, as there is no main parking
meadow. If you must park on the road, you must stay to one side and have
the other cleared, as the LEOs are issuing tow warnings. They want one side
cleared for emergency vehicles to get by if they need to.

It is warm during the day and down to 35 or so at night--pretty nippy
especially around 5 or 6am. I highly recommend bringing bug spray or
whatever you choose to use as your defense against mosquitoes. The
mosquitoes are relentless in the evening and, although I don't like OFF, I
end up using it every night. The bugs are even bad during the day.
