“Ever hear of the “Rainbow Gatherings?” (Google it for more info.) It’s an annual flash-mob kind of camp out attended by what would commonly be known as hippies.” (Lazy unmotivated slackers that stink like a wounded stray dog /rant)” (and held every July in a national forest (the location changes yearly). There’s absolutely nothing official about this–a forest is selected and people show up and camp/party/commune with nature for a week. No permits are required since it’s hard to stop 30,000 people from showing up and going camping especially given that in most of the national forests you can camp anywhere except where it’s posted that you can’t. (More on the regulations for camping down in the Hoosier later.)

Inspired by this event some of the inmates here in Indiana and I have been discussing doing something similar down in the Hoosier National Forest south of Lake Monroe near Bloomington, IN. Actually this won’t be any kind of formal event–anyone interested will show up, pick out a spot alongside any of the roads down there where it’s legal to primitive camp and fellowship with our ADVrider brothers and sisters for the weekend.”
