By their nature, no one can speak for the group, say Rainbow Family members, and thus can’t sign any permit. Without a permit, the gathering becomes illegal, in the eyes of law enforcement agencies, which changes how forest officials react to it — and increases the presence of armed law enforcement.

A site south of San Antonio Mountain — near where the 20,000-person gathering occurred in 1995 — has been the front-runner for several months, according to Gary Stubbs, of the Rainbow Family. However, concerns over the reception from Taoseños has put two sites near Cuba in the Santa Fe National Forest back on the table

I would go to this. Reminds me of flashmob or critical mass bike rides.

The gathering will be 22 road miles northeast of Cuba

I think that's a fine idea.

In 1987, they had the Rainbow gathering in the mountains of western Carolina. When I was in Waynesville, there was one guy who came up to me and asked, “I’m a rainbow person, where’s the gathering”. I almost felt bad that he had overshot it by 40 miles.

Someone needs to get out there to take some before and after pictures to show how much hippies love the environment and take care of Mother Earth. I expect trash (and other) piles will scar the landscape.

most of the hippie types also belong to such orgs as PETA, HSUS, Defenders of Wildlife, etc. These groups give ZILCH of their millions to restore/manage wildlife populations, or even help cats ands dogs.

In contrast, hunters and anglers have contributed billions to restore/manage wildlife populations in excise taxes

Good! They fouled up the Hoosier National Forest about 10 years ago. I hope they stay out west.
