Rainbow family gathering is set for first week of July above timber lakes and currant creek reservoir.

http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/

Our family business got word from the city council to be prepared in Heber.
Expect lots of theft, partial nudity, maybe some vandalism.

The location is right where FR road 082 and 083 meet if I read it correctly off their site.

Possible a few thousand might attend. All dropping the deuce in the woods. Beating drums and chanting.

Weren't they just here in the Uintahs about 8-9 years ago and it ended up being pretty anticlimatic?

I'm not sure. I've ran into them down in the south end of the state. Most are low key, leave us alone, and let us smoke our weed.

They met in my hunting spot in Nor Cal one year. Not good news. They steal, they are gross, and they crap everywhere. They are not environmentally friendly. Lots of hairy, gross, naked chicks for anyone who is interested.-------SS

Yeah, it was on the West Branch of the Black's Fork around Lyman Lake. There was a bajillion deputized LEO on horses and wheelers. The Sheriffs Dept and Forest Service tried their best to stop it but just moved it from one spot on the North Slope to another.

I took Mrs Goob and gave an impromptu seminar on wild mushroom identification. It was a lot of fun. There were people from all walks of life there. Quite a few doctors and lawyers and such driving big high-dollar motor homes.

Evanston was full of traveling Rainbow people before and after the event. I had a contract with the Wyoming Game & Fish back then and the Rainbow people kinda homesteaded on some of the state property I took care of; made a mess, were naughty.

I have heard they drop a lot of dookies, but deuces too?:shock: That's just wrong!

I was going to make a derogatory remark about the title of this post, but :tape2:.
(just read the title and you will figure it out) lol!

You'd think that between Sturgis, Burning Man and the whole Occupy movement, these folks would have their fill of camping out. Because really, I'm not convinced it isn't the same folks at all of these things.

 

[Huge29]

Apparently they made more trouble than I recalled http://www.ksl.com/?sid=30343975&ni...concerns-in-heber&fm=home_page&s_cid=topstory
I do recall driving through Evingston days after it was over, I missed the mushroom seminar, and there were several hitchhiking through. the few that I encountered were pretty friendly and decent.

That's kind of funny right there. Wards and stakes are moving their girls camps to avoid the Rainbow people. I get it. But it is still kind of funny.

"Let's go brother! Pack up da women and chid'rn. Dem Rainbows is comin'!

That's only because you don't know anything about any of "them".

okay, who all has a paintball gun??

Amen.
As sportsman we need to protect our wild places from being trashed and 'dumped' upon.
A paintball gun could come in handy at Willard Bay during the annual crappie 'rape'.

Mrs Goob and I used to clean litter on the North Slope Road from Rt 150 (Mirror Lake Highway) over to Mt Elizabeth. The road was the dirtiest we ever seen it that summer they had the Rainbow thingie over there.

I'm just glad they chose up there. They had 2 different sites, the other was down here in emery county/san pete county by Joes Valley. Working at the sheriffs office it was becoming quite the logistic nightmare. Thank goodness our roads are to rough for their buses and motorhomes!

 

[mikevanwilder]

Sorry I would rather them not do this at all, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with them.

If you research their websites they paint a pretty good picture of being kind and obedient and law abiding folks. They just want to have a very large camp and drink a few drinks and smoke some stuff and have a good and fun time...all peaceable and such...AND they even have a clean up crew that stays after everyone else is gone and they clean up EVERYTHING behind them and then refurbish the grounds with fresh seeds and stuff. They sound like a very likeable bunch.
BUT, they also warn the locals (you and me) that there are those who come to their gatherings with other things in mind and they wish we would not cater to them...pan handlers etc.
Like Goob said, they are from all walks of life, some of them walk in with everything they own on their backs, while others come with their $100,000 coaches and all the fineries.
Other than the fact that 20,000 people stomping around in one forest area devastating everything in their path, possibly a few poached animals and a few hundred beer cans tossed into the bushes, what harm?

And the Feds are more worried about a few cows roaming around the desert in Nevada. :rapture:

Alas, Utah now has a confirmed grizzly bear and this one packs a knife.

Same sow right here.
