..not an endorsement, just an acknowledgement.
If there's one thing I learned from my work with the Forest Service --- the Family is everywhere! No reason to doubt some Family would be here, too. This is your topic now, OceanRiver! Welcome.
is to be in either Texas, Oklahoma or Arkansas.
is in the works of being worked out for Aug. or Sept. as well.
theoneandonlycorky heynow-- always great to connect with my family--- my contribution was the "love kitchen" at the first 5 gatherings, I am a personal friend of Garrick Beck and Barry Plunker, founding member of the tribe along with Mountain Chuck and many Bears--same family as the dead, just more tribal and acoustic--- love you all---FUN!
Gathering is happening right now in Newton County, Arkansas, near Fallsville off Highway 16. You can find directions on welcomehome.org. I dropped my hubby off there yesterday, scene was still somewhat small and mellow, but no shortage of Forest Service LEOs. I live in Arkansas and thought I would give a word to the wise: While on the maps Jasper, AR seems like the closest town and best place to get supplies etc, I would not consider this a freak-friendly place. This is the bible belt folks and in Jasper they have a white-knuckle grip. I live in nearby Fayetteville, about 60 miles west of the site (two hour drive due to curvy roads) and definitely consider this a more Rainbow friendly place. It is a college town and has its share of counter culture. BUT, this is still the bible belt folks. Have fun and be careful.
